Sounds like I should have waited to buy my Soul7s ... nice work. I'll have to see if I can meet-up for a demo next season.

This season isn't over yet I hope to get a few more days in. And if Killington open in June I'll be there


Thank you guys for your reviews.
I'm still waiting MMW verdict on ski performance at frozen glades at Jay last Saturday

Jesus, take my money.


. Seriously Mishka that ski is a winner in my book and the more I think about it the more I wouldn't change a thing about the dimensions.
thank you. I knew you will come around. Why fix if it's broken :lol:

How about a full rocker with camber. Not too much rocker. I am still up in the air about full rocker.

how can it be full rocker and camber? Full rocker to me is banana like profile.
My press is not set up to make camber on the skis. Skis I'm making is zero camber. Currently nobody, myself included, who tried 86s and 110s did not felt need for the camber.
Rocker on 100s will be identical to MR110 which is iirc 250 on tips 150 on tail with VERY LOW rise

Yes, I meant tip and tail rocker with camber, but not too much of rocker. This will make the the ski ski longer. That is one of the things I do not like about my Skilogiks. The contact patch is very small.

for the references MR110 have running length (contact patch) of 1370 mm and ski I think to it size 185. MR100 running length will be 1250--1270 which probably on long long side for of ski this category.

I have a pair of demo bindings that I am willing to part with. Can get a model number and more details if there is any interest...

I got them about 5 years ago, they were on a pair of K2 PE's I bought used. I have to dig'em out of storage, IIRC they are Solomons. I will let you know for sure over the weekend...

The demo bindings I have are in fact Solomons. I can't figure out the model number. There's a large red 7 followed by a smaller white 10. The DIN ranges from 3-10.
