Cool.

105 days is alot for any ski! Makes me even more glad that I got these.

I think I am going to try mount them -2 or 3 at some point…and maybe get some softer and a bit wider (center mounted) skis for park only.

Let us me know what you think of your CR’s mounted centered when you get on skis again..I guess for us it will be still about 3 months (bummer).

Massive co-incidence but I happened to get CR lab skis after I snapped the tip of one of my Dogens last at the start of last season. I also found them to be npoppy and stable but I had them mounted -2 from the recommended mark. After a 105 day season in Whistler the edges are starting to using them for everything from park to instructing the edges are pretty ground out under foot but the rest of the ski is holding up extremely well.

I have recently moved the binding forward to cord centre. It will be interesting to see how their performance differs.
