Jim, I would love to hear your thoughts. I am feeling pretty set in the 100-110mm range in my quiver. Last week I bought a pair of Icelantic Shamans off the Clymb for $349!! I already have bindings for them so it is very little out of pocket for a ski I may love. TR on the 184's is 18m, which is substantially less than the TR on other skis I ski that are less wide. Max 501 from the PMTS forum loves these skis espcially in PNW cement or Sierra cement. When I combine these with my K2 Hardsides, I feell pretty covered for almost any amount of powder. As you know I am skiing skinnier skis in pow in MT because the snow is nice and light. We will see.
I may still try to get on a pair of the Chariots later in the season. Still not sure why Dave didn't repsond to my emails on my visit in November.
Amazingly, I still have almost half the funds in my paypal kiddy from selling a bunch of skis last year. I guess this means theroetically that I can still buy the Chariots and still have some pocket change in the account!! I would have to be wowed. I remember the last ski that Peter said was fantastic, and I bought it and it did not live up to his billing (the Kastle FX 84). I think I will stiill wait to demo the Chariots.
Looking forward to the review!!
