WTB: Tele boards

[SKIQUATTRO]

looking for another pair to add to the quiver:

175 (ish)
90-95 underfoot

prefer Hammerheads, but will consider other binding options.

I've got the Mantras mounted up tele with the BD01s. Love them.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

thanks, will take a look....if you hear of anyone looking to sell let me know

How do the handle hardpack? The mantras your everyday/ all condition ski?

How do the handle hardpack? The mantras your everyday/ all condition ski?

I'm not sure how they translate from alpine to tele but I feel my mantras handle the hardpack well for a wider ski. Want to borrow mine for a weekend?

 

[TheBEast]

They handle it well since thu have the metal sheet in the construction. Just need a beefy binding and the hammerhead should
do the trick. They're my everyday ski.

thanks, found a pair of k2 apache chiefs (98) mounted with Hammerheads...considering em..

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

the cheifs are 98 underfoot, been reading good reviews....

I want to say that ALLSKIING has the chiefs. Been a while since I've skied with him though.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

still looking, found so far:....thoughts? what about the bd kilowatt?

-k2 antipistes with r8s
-line elizabeths with hh (110 maybe too big for east coast)
-hippy stinx with r8s
-k2 apache chiefs with hh

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

can get new BD Kilowatt with HH for about $500 or Mantras with HH for about the same with 30 days on em...$500 is a bit more than i was looking to spend...heard good things on both skis...i'd obviously try to get the mantras cheaper if i went that route (think they are in CO)

 

[ts01]

FWIW I skied the Kilowatts w/7tm Power (probably equal to HH position 3) in spring conditions out west and really enjoyed it. Good "quiver of 1" type ski - may not be best at anything, but good at everything.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

leaning towards the mantra....

 

[bigbog]

FWIW...SQ, there are quite a few skis in the 80s(mm) that might be a little more playful in fall-line on the EC. Just sayin'....

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

my current tele ski is a rossignol powder bird (80 underfoot)

looking to expand the quiver

Haven't skied them but this site has 'em for $300. I was able to pick up the BD01 last year on a blowout on EMS mid-season for under $200 I think.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

thx, great price, but i think 165 would be too short...

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

Anyone ski or know about the Line Elizabeth (110 underfoot)
