Comment on Review: Karhu Team 100 / Line Prophet 100 by Greg

Adam, I mounted small Dukes boot center 82.5cm from the tail (measured straight, not curving to the ski). This equates to 1 cm behind the Prophet 100 boot center mark.

Where did you mount the Dukes on those? Are those dukes the small ones?

…. It looks like you mounted them more towards the rear.

Comment on Karhu Storm Review (AT) by PETE

Interesting and useful review. I’ve been considering a pair of Karhu Spires (122-86-108) for some time (for New England quiver-of-one choice) but have held off and wonder if you would have written essentially the same review for those? Your mention of K2 backside series skis is interesting too ‘cuz I’ve been looking at them recently. Sidestash, Hardside, Coomback, Backlash, Wayback, and Backup all looking interesting and I’d love the chance to demo them all, especially in a combination of good and ugly New England weather both in-bounds and off-piste. Anyone got the gear sloot review of any of those yet?

I’ve been looking at the Line Prophet 100s as a possible new contender for an NTN binding setup. Would love to hear from anyone skiing the East on Line 90/100/130 rigged with NTN (or other tele bindings for that matter). I’m 5′11″ around 175-180 lbs and have tended to ski on slightly shorter skis than gear sloot Greg seems to like, but so far 169-179 sizes have worked for me… but then again you do need to look at the “true” length in combo with the other dimensions and cut of the ski.

Are those Motherships on that tuning bench?!?
Those must be a BRAND NEW addition to your quiver this fall – otherwise where’s the review?

I love my Higgins jacket. I have it in a medium yellow, and it just works for me. I would definitely recommend it.

Nice update on the fly low-particularly for people who are a bit more difficult to fit. Given your long arm situation you may want to check in on the beyond custom jacket. Pricey but it may solve your problem. Now lets get someone to make a softshell with all the following:

1) insulated -r hybrid insulated
2) wrist system, like gaitors, neoprene cuffs etc.
3) The three Ps

-pit zips
-powder skirt-removable
-pockets (interior preferred)

4) Helmet compatible hood with easy to use functionable clasp/cinch system
5) fleece lined collar-but not a sidewinder
6) higher collar which does not dig under the chin, venting would be over the top
7) NO GAPER colors/pattern (ala karbon, spyder etc) busy logos, and contrast tape (mountain hardware), contrasting colors etc

8) Last but not least- NO or minimally invasive logo.

Hows that for a challenge….
