sweet, that's my size
thanks in advance for the meet up at Lord Hobo for me to borrow your skis for a weekend and give my expert analysis on how to use them properly

Well if you want to come out to WA for a demo you can take a couple runs, but I'm not dragging them in to Cambridge.
My bsl is 304, if you are close it'd be no sweat.
bsl? is that foot size? I wear a 9...or 26.5 ski boot
boot sole length, I wear a 26 boot, but bsl varies a little between boots. you're probably close.
gotcha
I read it at first as 'asl' :lol: was thinking dude, I only want to borrow your skis :lol:

A 27 in the krypton series is a 315mm, so you should be right around the 304mm that Waloaf has give or take a mm or 2.
They are the Progressor 9, a 170 and a 175, my husband just gave me the fish eye, so I STAND CORRECTED! LMAO Forgive my insolence!
The flowflex plate would have predrilled holes in them. You would never drill them.

Jens,
I've been considering a pair myself. Any idea on a good length for me. I'm 5' 8" 182 lbs... Thanks, Mike

I'm not the expert. You might want to ask Skidmarks. But 170 or 175 depending on wether you want a bigger ski feel or not.
Sorry lamb chop, they are sold
Those folks might still need bindings ...

and they only work with Fischer bindings (made by tyrolia) with a special screw length...so this is not your average mount at home set up...bring them to an authorized Fischer dealer or you'll probably mess up the whole flowflex plate.
Yes WaLoaf, your FF17 Tyrolias would fit the hole pattern in the plate BUT they MUST have the special flowflex screws, not the standard mounting screws that come with that binding.

I'm sorry I didn't get a shot at these.
I never got the pictures you said you'd send.
(Though, in the interest of full disclosure, I probably would have passed as I would have wanted 180s).

Are you going to use the ski for NASTAR/Beer League or for Zooming? I'm 187.5-192 LBS and plan on using the 170 for our Mt Southington Leagues. A 165cm SL race ski works great but it is very easy to overturn.
Sounds like a hassle. Glad I went with the full package.
(we need a little racer smilie)Sounds like a hassle. Glad I went with the full package.
Racers don't smile! They bleed on the inside like Kung Foo Man!!
Your FF17's will work great on a speed event ski. Get some DH or SG skis and join us this season.

wished i would have seen these last year - i picked up some racetiger sl's for beer league/gate clinics (typically all slalom sets) but these would have fit the bill nicely too!
They're actually mounted on some Race-stock 185 Racetigers that are too much for me for Beer League. I don't know if I have time for other events right now. But maybe in a few years when the kids are older and I still have the racing bug.
