They're here!!!
Word! Big props to Untracked.com. I ordered these suckers yesterday morning and was surprised and elated to see them leaning on my front steps when I got home from work today this afternoon!
As far as length goes, they're pretty similar to my AC3 which are 170cm:
As mentioned earlier in this thread, the Cabrawler runs much shorter than its printed length. I would guess the 179cm Cabrawler is indeed around 173cm. I'm very glad I opted for this length over the 169 (163) especially given how skinny these are overall. I plan to use these skis on the bumps and groomers (not a carver skier) and save the AC3s for natural snow/powder/trees.
Another goal was a lighter ski. Based on my completely unscientific measurements using a bathroom scale, the AC3s weigh 13.6 pounds while the Cabrawlers + the PX12s weigh 10.8 lbs. for a savings of almost 3 lbs. I expected a bit more, but hey, I'll take what I can get.
Anyway, not much more can get you psyched for ski season this time of year than a ski delivery! 8) I'm slowly turning into a gear whore. Can't wait to see how the skinny skis help in the bumps! Come on winter!!!
