The shrimp fried rice pictured above, and hot and sour soup. Drank an orange soda like Kel because Kel loves orange soda. I don't eat with chopsticks @GrilledSteezeSandwich

Top of Condor Lift. Apex Ridge was my favorite groomed run of the day. Felt like Razor's Edge on steroids. Favorite ungroomed black run of the day - Kestrel. Ski tracks says I skied 44,793 feet of vert. I think that's a lot. I carry all of the items below when I ski. Only thing not pictured is my Jitterbug.

A do it all ski since I tend to ski a variety of terrain and would rather not swap skis constantly. The Enforcers felt the best on different terrain but it's difficult to be unbiased since that was my favorite going into the demo session based on reviews I've read, and since my friend bought a pair and he really likes them

The Kore 99 felt light and really easy to turn in ungroomed snow. However I enjoyed groomers more on the Enforcer 94s I liked the Kendos also on groomers but felt they would be too hard to turn on ungroomed for my liking Honestly I could buy any of the 3 and be happy but I enjoyed the Enforcers the most as they're considered a great all mountain ski
-
I later corrected that misstatement of mine and I skied the Kendos, not Mantras. Nope, gonna relax a bit and then look for tasty food
-
Lmao. First turn on the Head Kores I almost ate shit because I was unprepared for how dang effortless they are to turn after skiing Kendos for 2 hours. Sadly I wont get much time on them but they are good skis also
-
I previously stated I demoed the Mantras, but correction - they were Kendos which I enjoyed pretty much equally to the Enforcers. The Kendos felt stiffer but that might be the placebo effect. Last pair for the hour - Head Kore 99 based on @Johnny Law 's recommendation The challenge here is I'm trying to explore the mountain and demo at the same time, so it's not the most conducive way to swap out skis. But this is my third pair of the day and I'm happy with the experience.

This trip is going way too fast. WTF? Brighton tomorrow and Wednesday Snowbasin Thursday and Friday
-
I've considered that as long as I can fit them in my ski bag with all my other crapola. Maybe I can sell the RTMs to some jerry or ship them back separately. Definitely feel a difference with the Mantras... stiffer and not as "playful "? I'm not even sure what makes a ski playful
-
I'll try Mantras for an hour or so and swap one more time to get my johnny cash worth. Honestly I could have skied the Enforcers all day long but I gotta get that bang for my buck
-
What I liked about the Enforcers: everything. What I didn't like: nothing. 🤷🏻♂️
-
Ha, not even close. I've only fallen on one groomer this year - that ice patch on Chute. But I still suck in ungroomed snow and fall pretty frequently. I made it down a lengthy ungroomed diamond this morning without falling which was rad Wifi sucks at uploading so heres one pic taken prior to my disastrous run
-
Took a pretty hard fall on a blue run with large moe ghouls. I was trying to ski them like @indiggiobut that doesnt work for me. Thought I broke a rib but it's just a minimally strained muscle. I'll feel it when I wake up tomorrow. Taking a 30 min break to get my nerves back and will try the Mantraz
-
Just for fun I'll demo the Kendos. The Enforcers feel ideal but I'd like to see how Kendos compare. I really don't know what else to try that they have, maybe I'll just do eeny meeny miny moe
-
They felt rad. I'm not sure if it's the placebo effect but they are definitely grate skis.
-
What does goose him mean?

Really liking the Enforcers. Very fun ski and I could definitely see myself buying a pair. You guys will be proud. I fell in some gnarly terrain on a n ungroomed black diamond and my ski popped off. I was able to rebind on steep ass slope with lots of Perder by using the leg crossing technique. Sick!
-
Nope, just the brands are listed online (e.g. Volkl, etc)
-
That's how it was the first day I was there. Very difficult to see. Hopefully it clears out for you

First demos: Nordica Enforcer 94, 179s @enjoralas they dont have the Sky HDs but they have some other Rossignol skis Ironically the demo dude suggested Kendos/Mantras if I try something else, though JLaw advises against those lol. I might try one or both just for fun 💁♂️ Not what what else to try... I think Head Kore might be too light for what I want??? Maybe some sort of Salomons... ?
-
Correct. This is the time I should have been here yesterday. I hate feeling rushed doing things. It's nice to chill for an hour beforehand, though I dont feel like standing at the front of the lift for a full hour today so I'll find a comfortable seat for a while after I get my demo Nordica Enforcers or RTM 171s
