I don't know the specifics of Smith's lenses as well as Oakley, sorry. This chart from Oakley should help ya out with lens choice from them, though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m keeping an eye out for a can’t pass up price on some Rossi Soul 7s. Demo’d them in Steamboat last year and think they’ll replace the 88s as my daily driver. Not really a need though, so I’m just casually watching 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at the skis since Jan. I also knew that I wanted pivots and didn't need a din higher than 12, so they fit my reqs just by looking at them on the wall. I just didn't know if they had special model names. Turns out they do and these are the dual WTRs (17/18) which is what I didn't originally had no idea about. Thanks though.

I’d love to get a chance to demo them at Blue but I doubt we’ll see a demo day this year. If the shop has them to demo I’ll pony up to try them. I’m not in a huge hurry to replace the 88s, and I would probably keep trucking them along as a fall back at least until I had a number of days in most conditions to feel comfortable leaving them home. Not like space is a premium with the truck bed. Except Gaper day, lol. I did demo the Sky 7 a couple seasons ago at Blue and liked them, but feel like it’s too close to my current ski to make sense to add them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Souls a few years back out at Alta, practically everyone was skiing them out there. I did some looking and from what I read, they're great for Western conditions, which is why you only see a smattering of them out here. Just wanted to throw it out there, as I don't know what you do or don't know about them. As always, YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I was just at buckmans bought two new pairs of ski socks, two neck tubes and an on sale pair of low light Oakley A frames. It was busy in there. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
