2024 Quiver

Post by DG99 » Sun Mar 10, 2024 3:04 am

Inspired by Tom M quiver YouTube…. Not to be materialistic or consumeristic or anything. But,

Here’s my 2024 quiver.

Left to right, Blizzard Brahma 88 for old snow, groomers and moguls.
Fischer Ranger 107 for powder and crud.
[Yes I have found telemark at the resort overly handicapping. Enough about that!]
Voile Ultravector with G3 ions, mostly for spring steep volcano descents.

Now the relevant stuff:

Voile Vector BC fishscale for backcountry mixed terrain, mostly powder. The best! With T2x.

Fischer S Bound 112 for backcountry trail skiing. Used with T4s.

I had some Fischer Outbacks with light BCX675 but found I went just as far and fast on the Vector BC (!) and the Outbacks sucked breaking trail in the deep and heavy, or tackling refrozen coral reef. The Vector BC are a bit ponderous feeling on trail and tend to slide sideways though, on blown out trails, hence the 112s. We usually have deep and heavy or coral reef around here. Outbacks and BCX675 got sold.

Anyhow, what’s your quiver thing?

Hmmm. No takers on showing your skis.

How about pictures of powder turns this winter. Here’s mine. It’s steeper than it looks!

I’m a fisherman!
Here’s my 2024 quiver
IMG_6094.jpeg
Piste ski, Summitcone Pariah 97, 177 cm, even though it is mounted Voile Transit and my boot is F-1 Race
It ripped on-piste, handled Vermont “firm” just fine. I’m not saying I didn’t feel very refrozen Corduroy underfoot. I will say I wasn’t skiing very “loud” black runs slow. It’s advertised as a very capable all mountain ski. I think it might be fun in powder, I didn’t see that in Michigan or Vermont this year!
I had one weekend trail skiing powder on the Falketind’s in MI!.

2nd ski is a Tindan 86, 187 cm, it will not see a lot of time on piste. Really nice in challenging BC conditions. Especially with kick and glide approaches. Boot T-4

3rd ski Falketind Xplore, touring for turns or turning and touring. 196 cm, boots Alaska 75, and Alico Ski March

4th ski Gamme 54, 210 cm. Trail skiing, it goes fast and it is a lot of fun on twisty, up and down trails. Boot Alaska BC

Finally, a pair of Epoke's! I've wondered how they're never mentioned here; they were such a well respected and widely used ski for many years. Another one of those I should have kept.
