>>>But I did assume the "Traverse 78" was the same ski as the S-78...
me too! The Sbound 88 and up seems to be the same as last year. The 78 got the increased camber. Yes, I would have to assume the 199's were cut because they didn't sell. Alpina and Rossi don't make 200's either. There were 199's on closeout at a few place last year - at STP all the longer lengths were not available though.
I've never seen the current E109 in person, not sure how it compares to the Sbound 78. I think the Traverse 78 is significantly heaver than E109, probably more stable & damped while turning.
good to see Asnes still cranking out the Ingstad's in 210cm.
