G3 FINDr XCD vs. well, the rest...

[fisheater]

thanks for the reviews stover & eric. I am so intrigued by the G3 skis. Of course the objective bcs are the object of everyone's desires, are they not?

Hello Dell,
I went in a different direction than the Objective. I went skinnier, hopefully it will provide good performance in leather at my northern Michigan lift served dune. It also has a wax pocket, for dune touring. How is it going to ski? I don't know, I will have to wait for my Norwegian mail order bride (skis) to arrive from Germany. I hope they are a match made in heaven for Michigan dunes, and the Huron Mts too

Hey there Bob! I missed this exciting development. So what ski did you order? I can't wait to hear about it.

I'm another disciple of the Objectives, having now skied them a few times... once with Excursions, couple times with Alaskas. I was hard pressed to choose between waxable or waxless. Went with the waxless (first waxless I've ever bought), but I know I'd love a pair of waxables, my usual preference.
Hard to imagine a more versatile, sweeter ski for all-around here.
I'd like to hear more about the G3's, but kinda sounds like they're a little more oriented to the down.

Phoenix, what length did you get again and what are you particulars?

Did you put the bulldogs on them? or something else? riser?

I got the 164's. I'm pretty scrawny (5'7", around 130lbs). Not in great shape, but active. Pushing 64. "Expert" skier... not that I'm gifted, but skiing since I was 2 years old, east and west, nordic, alpine, xcd, tele, etc. The camber on the Objectives seems perfect so far.

I'm skiing 'em with the Bulldoggs (Spike 3-pins), which have an integrated riser. Work perfectly so far, both with Excursions and Alaskas.
