It looks like... Nothing new at all...? SOS? Same Old Skis? Oh wait, cyan and yellow paint, sorry... The upcoming Asnes RABB, with the same waist as the S98, is wider, lighter and probably less expensive than the new S-98... While the S98 is offering slightly opened tips for " Hardcore skiers &...

Looking forward to compare your ST vs the new Rabbs! The Storetind is waaaay stiffer than either the Epoch/XCD 10th Mtn, or the S-98- but, with all of that tip rocker and a bit of tail rocker + camber underfoot, the ST is both better in deep soft snow and on hardpack/ice/difficult snow than either. ...

Oh, what you say totally makes sense... As it's the exact opposite of me, from the DH point of view... :D For deep snow xcD, I prefer the Epoch over the S98 because of that softer flex... While I prefer the S98 for harder / uncertain snow... But hey, not having alpine style rocker tips on these 20yo...

Perhaps it would be easier to score if the two dimensions were scored separately- rather than as a ratio? Oh! A much better system already! I love it! Let's add this to all our new reviews...! * The S98 is quite a special ski. I would actually give it a impossible 30/90 XC/D ratio... This may have ...

Like they say... You can put any bindings on anything... You might have a hard time trying to figure out the sweet spot for alpine though... Not sure you can find boot center marking on those (very nice!) oldies, and not sure the narrowest point would help... Better learn telly... ;) Hey, drop me a ...

Greetings! (EDIT: Oops, I just found a similar thread further down about mounting 3-pin bindings on Voile Objective skis. There is some additional info there about the relationship between the boot center and 3-pin lines that may help me out. I like this forum -- lots of good info lurking here!) Ye...

Yep, very inspiring indeed! There is too much tech in regular long skis for me to get involved into something like this, it would turn out a mess. But for straight skishoes, I might give it a try in the next months... I am already thinking about a pair of straight hunters made of maple, with live ed...

You Sir will never need them, with your *huge* collection of mohairs...!

I am beginning to think that every single model is carefully tuned for its intended purpose. Flex, camber, resistance, sidecut, all crafted differently for each ski, in a way that no combination of words can describe. Or maybe it's just very good marketing... It is working, as I will have to buy bot...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing... Do you take orders? I would LOVE to have a pair...! I have been looking for a cheap pair of Profoils for years to do *exactly* what you did. I ended up using permanent skins instead... Would you sell the remaining bits of those profoils? Pleeease..? ;) I’m curious, the...
