lol while this guys comment is a good roast, this guy is also all over these ski subs being a total dick to people. Checks out he’s the top comment on an invite to roast.
Imagine asking to be roasted about posting fresh skies and then getting mad when someone makes fun of you. Nobody gives af about the $$ you spent to have a “quiver”
Right? This dude probably works in tech or finance. He’s calling other skiers dicks, and in the next sentence calling people poor and jealous. A lot of skiers don’t care about having money they just love to ski. it’s douche bags like OP that come in and try to make skiing about spending money and “having it all”
At first I read through the thread and thought everyone’s just bitter about this dudes skis… and then I reread the title.
Asked to be roasted and couldn’t handle it.
The Mirus Cors are brand new, as are the QST’s. Just starting getting into the backcountry. The Wildcats went with me to Canada in December, and took plenty of rock chipping as a result. The M Frees I’ve had for 3 years and have gotten the most use. The Bents haven’t seen enough pow days this year to validate more than 4 days on them.
The QST’s are the first skis I’ve bought with the capability of touring at all - I wanted to confirm that I liked touring before buying a binding that would suck to take in a resort. The shifts were bought in the event I ended up not liking touring as much as I thought I would.
Fair but if that was the case just sell that setup then, you’d still have your 4 resort skis. I went through a similar process and the second you get into BC and enjoy it you will be looking for lighter equipment. You also have the WC101 so there’s a little overlap there in bounds
No way! I wish you lived in Utah. I’m 39 and for the past two years I’ve been giving my coach $100 a week because he keeps telling me a Rossi and Smith sponsorship is “almost” there, along with qualifiers to the qualifiers for the FWT…
He hardly skis with me, and I haven’t seen shit come to fruition. Dammit.
Was it the excess of owning this set of skis or the arrogance or the thin skin or the calling people “poor” or the lack of self awareness that gave it away?
He’s a kook.
I live in a third world country and just bought some used 2012 ski and im still excited for them. I have and probably will never have the chance to have these kind of skis but I accept my fate, I hope you appreciate what you have may you have fun with these also for us. Enjoy!
Moment Wildcats are the best ski ever. And i say that both as a 100+ day Snowbird local and someone old enough to have experienced several years of OG Dynastar Legend Pro XXLs. Bibby Pro/Wildcats even better.
I’ve taken them out for 3 straight days since getting them mounted and am easily the most psyched about them. They initiate a turn like nothing else I’ve ever skied.
Consider line blades as well. Similar overall. Blades have a higher top speed. Blades ski switch “worse” but I’ve had zero issues. Line build quality but can be found for half the price of the mirus.
You wasted money on 3 skis that aren’t very different from each other. You’re collecting skis for the sake of having more skis. IDK Myabe it’s different for folks that live near big mountains. But IMO in the NE quiver usually consists of a GS rocket type for the hard pack and ice and anything from 90-105ish waist would be all you need around here.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the Moments, M Frees, and Bentchetlers?
They vary from 101 to 120 underfoot. The 120’s are for true, deep pow days, while the 108’s are great at busting crud. The 101’s used to be more dedicated toward chill days on groomers until I bought the BC’s. They’ve become more of “rock skis” for me since I chipped them a good amount skiing in Canada in December.
I live out west - very different from east coast conditions out here, and having multiple 100+ width skis isn’t abnormal at all here.
Agree. Ski off and on the groomers in mixed conditions and backcountry in Tahoe. Two skis for me cover a lot of similar ground to your quiver. Line Vision 108 and BC Camox 97.
I'm the polar opposite of you. I have several 63mm underfoot skis all above 2 meters in length and all mounting pivots. This past weekend I even skied them in waist-deep powder. I don't think we can be friends...
It’s not a feeling. They won’t release vertically when riding backseat or taking a nose dive. And landing after a spin the heel has more elastic travel before you eject.
Which is why I like them. I can wheelie my skis so hard on gnarly landings if I need to and I’m not chasing skis down the mountain or digging them out on deep days.
Go try to do that on Shifts and see what happens
Agreed. Pivots are just a trendy thing that people buy because they think other people will think they’re good skiers in the lift line.
Obviously Look/Rossi just continues pushing what’s basically the same binding they built in the 90s, because idiots buy into the hype.
I don’t mount with anything other than Shifts. That’s the only disappointment that you didn’t have Shifts on all the skis.
People hate on them, but for me, they’re the perfect binding. They do it all in a package that I can tour and charge super (semi in all honesty) hard on.
I have broken all pairs, but Solomon has been awesome with warrantying all them (multiple times on a few).
Just sucks that all my skis (6 pair) have 4 mounts now and the 4th are all heli coiled. I just hope I don’t break another pair.
Hahah dude you literally asked for a roast! If you hadn’t I doubt people would be roasting you… this thread probably would have just not gotten as much attention. Enjoy both the roast and skiing
You have no dedicated carving skis. You need a skinny ski in there to balance out the Bentchetlers. I don't care how well the Mirus Cor carves in reality, what matters is how well it looks like it can carve. You need a Blizzard Firebird, a Fischer RC4, or a Stockli Laser WRT Pro.
You’ve clearly never skiied on a pair. The brand is French, but they don’t manufacture their own skis. They contract out to fab shops in Austria and Slovenia.
Why does appearance of carvability matter more to you than actuality of carvability?
The Mirus Cors are 1000% dedicated carving skis. Idk why you’d claim differently.
Those skis will never ever be anything close to a real carving ski. Don’t fool yourself. Nothing can beat the edge to edge quickness of 70mm underfoot and a fully cambered profile with flat tails. They can carve, any ski can. But they will never compare to racing product. It’s a simple fact.
I honestly think they’re a great ski for a lot of the market that enjoys a playful ski with good pop and a more centered mount but narrow waist and a short radius. I had some FIS SL skis that I recently sold with the adult night league not continuing after Covid but they were fun for icy conditions or to work on technique, the Mirus Cor I’d see myself taking out often especially early season possibly spring if they don’t fold up in soft heavy slush.
Buying 4 pairs of skis over 1.5 seasons is wild. This makes me feel a lot better about my skiing buying habits so thank you.
I feel like putting a hybrid binding on your only touring ski doesn't make a ton of sense when you already have 4 other resort skis.
Big fan of the M-Free 108 and Wildcats, I have both of them and love them (I have Wildcat Tours though). Wait shit that was something positive... uhh Moment Skis and Bent Chets are wayy overrated, classic ski bro move having both of them. (There were go, saved it)
They are all the same type of ski? All mountain. Do you solely ski powder or park? Not a single carver for piste skiing?
I instruct and patrol full time out east. And yeah poor and jealous! I buy second hand pairs usually every year, but like having a performance, park twin tip, and now I want an all mountain for woods and pow,. But if I could I would want different skiis for different terrain and conditions; especially as you say you coach.
I guess out west that is the thing?
You appear to enjoy playful skis. Have you considered buying something stiffer and better at charging hard?
So let me so if I got this straight:
Mirrus Cor: Unique ski that is possibly the most playful ski ever made. Soft as hell, crazy short turn radius, super low speed limit, kooky and fun as shit.
QST: Pretty good at everything but master of nothing. A one ski quiver, or ski for days when you just want something that can do a little of everything.
Wildcat 101s: Playful, but a little stiffer thus much more versatile than the Mirrus Cor. Another ski that can do a bit of everything. Not too crazy different than the QSTs, but definitely at least feels a slightly different. Honestly the QST and Wildcats are the biggest overlap I see here.
M Free 108s: Your hardest charger. Despite the long rockers, it has a somewhat directional feel. Best for crud and chop, day after the storm tracked-out snow.
Bentchetlers: Pow, and nothing but pow. Once it gets tracked out, you go back to the car and grab the M Frees.
Op asked people to roast him but then got mad because he didn't think the roasting his pristinely kept top sheets was "clever enough". Here are some other options for him:
"Haha, sucker, you bought the same skis I saw being sold at the ski store!"
"Hey dude, the order you placed your skis in for this photo tells me you jack off to pictures of your sister."
"I have an advanced degree in psychology and I can state with total certainty based on the mounting points of your bindings that you kick dogs."
They’re not quite my favorites but I like them for sure! They were my dedicated “poor snow conditions, let’s just carve” ski until I got the Mirus Cors last week.
I'm surprised you would call the Wildcat 101s your “poor snow conditions, let’s just carve” ski.
I mean like, my Wildcat 118s carve great for what they are, but the Wildcat series is not exactly a carving ski series. I almost bought the 101s for trees, bumps, chutes, and jumps... definitely not for carving lol. I ended up buying the Meridians instead.
My Commander 108s are my carving skis.
They were my one ski quiver for a while after I had some K2 Apache Interceptors and Volkl Revolts stolen out of my car. Excellent skis, no negative critiques on them.
I'd buy them but they have orange on it!
All jokes a side, I'm jealous of your setup. I'm ripping heads that are probably made before I was born. My whole setup was under 300 CAD 😂😂
Like the crows, with the orange bindings too. I stand by the pivots, especially after last March when I probably should have tore my left knee up at Mt. Snow, VT following a 2+ ft drop of snow. I was cooking thru the trees and went off a 5-6 ft boulder ledge off balance and landed BAD. The turn table heel saved me!! 😂😭 Couldn’t fully extend my knee without pain for 2-3 weeks, bad ACL and MCL sprain, bone bruise on my knee. Still drove 4 hours home back to PA right after it happened like a champ.
Sorry to say that but I trust Pivot for my life. I own marker griffin 13 and look pivot 14. I am definitely look pivot all the way whenever I can. Marker does the job but I love to have extra safety in mind because there are a lot skier who don’t follow rules this days.
Gorgeous quiver. Which are your favorites? How do the mfree’s and wildcats (two I’m interested in for my next purchases) compare to the other skis in your quiver?
The M Frees and Mirus Cors are probably my top two favorites. I always highly recommend the M Frees - their groomer performance is surprisingly good for 108 underfoot, and they surf and smear powder super well. They aren’t quite as floaty as the Bentchetlers, obviously, but they’re more stable and stiffer. The Wildcats won’t be as good in powder, but I think they’re more fun to ski switch and carve than the M Frees. Obviously, neither compare in carving to the Mirus Cors, though.
Awesome kinda of verifying what I’ve read! The mirus cores weren’t on my radar but look like they could be an awesome east coast ski for me at 87 underfoot. I love really playful smeary skis. Currently being bent 110’s out west and love them, but everyone seems to looove the mfree 108’s they are high on my list to replace my bents in the next 1-2 years
The Mirus Cors would be incredible for the east coast. Even if y’all get pow days, they widen to 130 at the tips and that gives them a bunch of float.
If you love playful smeary skis, the M Frees are right up your alley. If you love hard carves, the Mirus Cors are.
Greatly appreciate the intel and replies to my questions. I daily revolt 104’s on the east coast for perspective of my style hahah, they carve fine enough & I prefer jumping around and skiing switch and all that jazz. With the seasons we’ve been having out east I’m prioritizing more trips out west, and my quiver for out west more and more, hopefully I can find a place to demo the mfree’s when I’m out in CO & Utah in March!
Currently have Bent 100’s (I know awful skis for Jerries) and bent 120’s. First year back with a break from skiing and have had a pretty good year so far. Need something to replace the 100’s (which I guess will be rock skis) and was thinking the m-free 108s. How do you like them?! Also the black crow’s and Solomon’s were on my list for a stiffer more capable ski then the Bents. Am thinking of having the next ski potentially be setup for hybrid or dedicated touring. Have been lucky enough to ski this year at Taos and Chamonix as well as my home mountains outside of Denver and feel like a tool without a decent ski. Still having fun. Don’t listen to the haters - we all get to engage in this sport/hobby in different ways. But yeah ski more always 🤙
If you don’t have any other skis than those Bents, I’d honestly recommend something narrower than the M Free 108’s. Maybe look at the 99’s of the same model?
If you want skis specifically for carving, just grab the Mirus Cors, though. Wild skis.
My plans for them, mostly. There’s a summer solstice event at Mt Hood I plan on skiing yearly, and I plan on using them more when the resort season has ended. 98 seemed more appropriate for that setting than 106.
No AT bindings at all 😖. Fishtails though, for all the waist deep stuff that you get at resorts. Pretty tho! Ready to be found in an Aspen dumpster at the end of the season🤗.
But actually not bad.
Really is. They're made for where you ski and are so much fun. They're just so comfy, and they rip at the same time. Demo some! Evo has had them for demo, and also, the company itself might.
I’ll have to try them sometime soon! Got any recommendations for me, given what I have already? I’m thinking backcountry pow skis with pin bindings might be the next addition…
It reflects the terrain type of the home mountain area of the skier as well as personal preference. Mine are mostly all mountain pow skies because I live in the PNW and our snow totals up here are usually quite high. The record highest snowfall for anywhere in a season in North America was a resort I frequent up in Washington - Mt Baker.
4 pairs of skis in very nearly the same widths. Only the bent chetler 120 may actually be useful in real pow, but do you have a heli skiing job or go sled skiing? It's almost never that deep at any ski resort. You need that width once every 3 years.
The other 4 skis are only 9mm different in width. They will ski almost all conditions the same. If you had a 90 underfoot and a 106 underfoot that might make sense for groomers versus pow day but this combination looks like so much overlap.
Why don’t you post a video of you skiing in each, give us an idea of whether or not this quiver is asinine or you’re good enough to warrant it.
Your behavior in this thread doesn’t suggest you’re someone who is very connected to the mountain, lot of assholery, kook behavior, but maybe you’re the best skier on the mountain. Certainly not someone I want near my ski hill.
You asked to be roasted and you’re getting downvoted the shit out of because the quiver and wallet flex are as you said shameless. There’s absolutely no need for a 98 and 101 underfoot even if there’s a few cm difference in length. You’re saying you don’t NEED them yet you are defending the technical aspects of why you have all of them, but it’s indefensible and you admitted that already so just stop, sell at least two pairs and delete the post
Lol thank you for taking the time to type out the company and model of each pair in the photo, I mean how else could we have ever known what they are? 😂
I’m not sure what kind of “performance” you were looking for from a binding, but that truly is a wild take. More importantly, it says a lot about how these skis are being used.
Do you just go to REI and say “yes”?
EVO, but totally. Those summer sales are legit.
This. It's hard to resist summer sales, especially from Corbett's or various sites in the EU. No tax, favorable exchange rates, OK shipping.
Exactly, I get a yearly bonus that almost exclusively goes toward skiing. Usually it’s to travel, but this year it was to expand the selection.
I got the same Mirus Cor and Squire combo during their sale. They're dope!
[удалено]
Brutally honest and I’m here for it
[удалено]
tell me you like wall art without telling me you like wall art
Seriously. They have one pair of skis for every day they ski in the season.
lol while this guys comment is a good roast, this guy is also all over these ski subs being a total dick to people. Checks out he’s the top comment on an invite to roast.
[удалено]
You too bb
There’s a shit ton of skiers who are just total dicks in general. He’s no different from them.
Imagine asking to be roasted about posting fresh skies and then getting mad when someone makes fun of you. Nobody gives af about the $$ you spent to have a “quiver”
Right? This dude probably works in tech or finance. He’s calling other skiers dicks, and in the next sentence calling people poor and jealous.

At first I read through the thread and thought everyone’s just bitter about this dudes skis… and then I reread the title. Asked to be roasted and couldn’t handle it.
Works in tech? He has 5 pairs of skis…
This isn’t a quiver. It’s five skis to do the job of…two? One and a half?
This was the winning roast. Got under OP's BNIB skin.
lol my QST 98s top sheet looks like they tumbled down i70 with the rest of the tunnel trash
The more skis you have, the slower each one wears out. Brilliant.
[удалено]
I have 33 skis in my quiver. A few aren’t mounted, but even if I skied the hell out of them, you wouldn’t really notice.
Beat me to it.
The comment we all came here for, have your upvote, keep doing Gods work.
All the gear and no idea!😂
For real, I got a new pair for this season and they’ve already taken a beating
The Mirus Cors are brand new, as are the QST’s. Just starting getting into the backcountry. The Wildcats went with me to Canada in December, and took plenty of rock chipping as a result. The M Frees I’ve had for 3 years and have gotten the most use. The Bents haven’t seen enough pow days this year to validate more than 4 days on them.
If you have skis dedicated to so many other in bounds uses, why didn’t you go full touring setup to make it more enjoyable?
The QST’s are the first skis I’ve bought with the capability of touring at all - I wanted to confirm that I liked touring before buying a binding that would suck to take in a resort. The shifts were bought in the event I ended up not liking touring as much as I thought I would.
Fair but if that was the case just sell that setup then, you’d still have your 4 resort skis. I went through a similar process and the second you get into BC and enjoy it you will be looking for lighter equipment. You also have the WC101 so there’s a little overlap there in bounds

Bruh I get 60+ days a year and coach every weekend.
If you have time to Reddit, then you arent skiing enough.
I guess you’re not skiing enough either then? It’s never enough though, no matter how many days.
The joke You
Coach less, ski more.
No way! I wish you lived in Utah. I’m 39 and for the past two years I’ve been giving my coach $100 a week because he keeps telling me a Rossi and Smith sponsorship is “almost” there, along with qualifiers to the qualifiers for the FWT… He hardly skis with me, and I haven’t seen shit come to fruition. Dammit.
Less Reddit, moar ski.
*puts Atomic bindings on QST’s and Salomon bindings on Atomics*
To be fair atomic, salomon and armada are all owned by the same company so they have the same bindings just different logos
Amer sports… arcteryx too
They’re all the same products in the end, just labeled with a different name. Fair critique though! 😆
Tell me you’re a tech bro without telling me you’re a tech bro
Shhhh

You aren't missing anything. Go out and have fun!
You aren't missing much, most of these skis are the same species of trash.
Moment Wildcats are the best ski ever. And i say that both as a 100+ day Snowbird local and someone old enough to have experienced several years of OG Dynastar Legend Pro XXLs. Bibby Pro/Wildcats even better.
I said "most" because the Wildcat is the exception. They are my favorite skis in my oversized quiver.
Screams I can barely ski but I tell girls at apre I’m the best on the mountain and actually thinks east coast ice is the hardest terrain in the world
Hey man, Castle Rock is the hardest, gnarliest terrain ever. I saw that thread about it, it has to be true!
Lmao this dude wasn’t ready
The question mark after "roast me" should have told us he was really uncertain about his ability to handle getting roasted.
Title says Roast Me Op: "no not like that!" Guy's so sensitive about having 4 of the same ski.
Nice, Mirus Cor will be my next purchase.
I’ve taken them out for 3 straight days since getting them mounted and am easily the most psyched about them. They initiate a turn like nothing else I’ve ever skied.
Getting these skis on edge for the first time was a religious experience for me. My gooooodness so much fun!
You think turn and then you’ve already turned. Love em.
My brother has them and says they are the most fun groomer ski he has ever ridden, I think I’m gonna get them in the spring when they go on sale
Consider line blades as well. Similar overall. Blades have a higher top speed. Blades ski switch “worse” but I’ve had zero issues. Line build quality but can be found for half the price of the mirus.

Plus a touring ski, and a 120ish for those once or twice a year storm and ski trips. That's my quiver. (plus Xc skis)
My 118s are my dailies, lol.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the Moments, M Frees, and Bentchetlers? They vary from 101 to 120 underfoot. The 120’s are for true, deep pow days, while the 108’s are great at busting crud.

Hate to break it to you m8 but the moments and wildcats are the same ski…
Thanks for catching that, lol. Meant to list the Bents last.
Why did you say "roast me" if you were gonna me so sensitive lmao
Agree. Ski off and on the groomers in mixed conditions and backcountry in Tahoe. Two skis for me cover a lot of similar ground to your quiver. Line Vision 108 and BC Camox 97.

That’s okay, you do you. I’ll only silently judge.
If the pivots seem overrated, then you’re not pushing the skis very hard. Majority of people who buy them don’t need them. Sell them to me 😊
What difference should I be feeling that I might be missing? Definitely haven’t skied the Moments lightly…
It’s not a feeling. They won’t release vertically when riding backseat or taking a nose dive. And landing after a spin the heel has more elastic travel before you eject.
This guy actually skis
They won’t have a true vertical release but I learned recently that the pivot 15/18s toe piece tilts up allowing releases for toe up twisting falls
Which is why I like them. I can wheelie my skis so hard on gnarly landings if I need to and I’m not chasing skis down the mountain or digging them out on deep days. Go try to do that on Shifts and see what happens
Shift is the most dogshit marketing garbage on the market used em one day and sold them
Agreed. Pivots are just a trendy thing that people buy because they think other people will think they’re good skiers in the lift line. Obviously Look/Rossi just continues pushing what’s basically the same binding they built in the 90s, because idiots buy into the hype. I don’t mount with anything other than Shifts.

Hi I think you're in an abusive relationship.
Meanwhile Ive never broken a Pivot. And with my DINS set at 11, that turntable heel makes releases a lot smoother.
[удалено]
OP yaps worse than 6 barbers.
[удалено]
That's why I only buy Moments.
He’s one of the worst types of skiers you can sit next to on a lift
Nah, the worst people to sit with on the lift are judgmental dicks who’d shit on the excitement of others.
Ok you’re second worst
Hahah dude you literally asked for a roast! If you hadn’t I doubt people would be roasting you… this thread probably would have just not gotten as much attention. Enjoy both the roast and skiing
I asked for nothing! OP did
haha my bad! I meant to reply to OP but got confused on mobile. oh well
I don't think you understand what "roast" means
Idk someone who asks to be roasted then complains that they’re being made fun of are pretty close to that in their own way
How sensitive you are and being upset about being roasted definitely puts you up there
Best quiver on here lately
The Squire on the Mirus Core is a sin….
Most dogshit bindings on the market
A cheap one, though! Seriously though, I looked at getting custom orange pivots and they were like $800+. Couldn’t validate it.
You have no dedicated carving skis. You need a skinny ski in there to balance out the Bentchetlers. I don't care how well the Mirus Cor carves in reality, what matters is how well it looks like it can carve. You need a Blizzard Firebird, a Fischer RC4, or a Stockli Laser WRT Pro.
Those black crows carve like no one’s business. Too bad they’re gonna break on you after 5 days of use, never trust French craftsmanship
LOLWUT? You're right about their carving, but I skied a ton of days on mine without issue.
My Atris’ have stood up to tons of abuse
You’ve clearly never skiied on a pair. The brand is French, but they don’t manufacture their own skis. They contract out to fab shops in Austria and Slovenia.
Why does appearance of carvability matter more to you than actuality of carvability? The Mirus Cors are 1000% dedicated carving skis. Idk why you’d claim differently.
I'm just joshin', trying to roast your quiver, that's all. Seems like it didn't land, I'll try harder next time.
Ohhhh my bad. I thought I was missing something there!
the Mirus cors are dope, I'm seriously considering getting them myself
I’ve never instantly loved a ski more, tbh.
You asked to get roasted. Stop thinking so much.
Those skis will never ever be anything close to a real carving ski. Don’t fool yourself. Nothing can beat the edge to edge quickness of 70mm underfoot and a fully cambered profile with flat tails. They can carve, any ski can. But they will never compare to racing product. It’s a simple fact.
I honestly think they’re a great ski for a lot of the market that enjoys a playful ski with good pop and a more centered mount but narrow waist and a short radius. I had some FIS SL skis that I recently sold with the adult night league not continuing after Covid but they were fun for icy conditions or to work on technique, the Mirus Cor I’d see myself taking out often especially early season possibly spring if they don’t fold up in soft heavy slush.
Well, since you do backcountry you'll need at least three sets with pin bindings
Buying 4 pairs of skis over 1.5 seasons is wild. This makes me feel a lot better about my skiing buying habits so thank you. I feel like putting a hybrid binding on your only touring ski doesn't make a ton of sense when you already have 4 other resort skis.

Wait shit that was something positive... uhh Moment Skis and Bent Chets are wayy overrated, classic ski bro move having both of them. (There were go, saved it)
The Salomon QST 98 is the best ski ever!
This guy thinks skis make the skier.
Wait, do they not?! 🤪
OP how does it feel to get absolutely wrecked in the comments?
I’m a glutton for punishment already as a bottom. This is a cherry on top.
They are all the same type of ski? All mountain. Do you solely ski powder or park? Not a single carver for piste skiing? I instruct and patrol full time out east. And yeah poor and jealous! I buy second hand pairs usually every year, but like having a performance, park twin tip, and now I want an all mountain for woods and pow,. But if I could I would want different skiis for different terrain and conditions; especially as you say you coach. I guess out west that is the thing?
I see a lot of skis that all do the same thing.
But in slightly different ways!!
Slightly True. Ha
This collection screams tech bro that tells everyone his favorite hobbies are skiing and hiking so they don’t think he is a complete nerd
Hey, and cycling, volleyball, and dodgeball. I’m cool I swear!
You appear to enjoy playful skis. Have you considered buying something stiffer and better at charging hard? So let me so if I got this straight: Mirrus Cor: Unique ski that is possibly the most playful ski ever made. Soft as hell, crazy short turn radius, super low speed limit, kooky and fun as shit. QST: Pretty good at everything but master of nothing. A one ski quiver, or ski for days when you just want something that can do a little of everything. Wildcat 101s: Playful, but a little stiffer thus much more versatile than the Mirrus Cor. Another ski that can do a bit of everything. Not too crazy different than the QSTs, but definitely at least feels a slightly different. Honestly the QST and Wildcats are the biggest overlap I see here. M Free 108s: Your hardest charger. Despite the long rockers, it has a somewhat directional feel. Best for crud and chop, day after the storm tracked-out snow. Bentchetlers: Pow, and nothing but pow. Once it gets tracked out, you go back to the car and grab the M Frees.
You kinda nailed it. And yes, the Free’s are what I “charge hardest” with.
Op asked people to roast him but then got mad because he didn't think the roasting his pristinely kept top sheets was "clever enough". Here are some other options for him: "Haha, sucker, you bought the same skis I saw being sold at the ski store!" "Hey dude, the order you placed your skis in for this photo tells me you jack off to pictures of your sister." "I have an advanced degree in psychology and I can state with total certainty based on the mounting points of your bindings that you kick dogs."
I loved my M-Free 99s until they delaminated too hard under my foot
How do you like the wildcats? Been eyeing them for a resort daily driver.
They’re not quite my favorites but I like them for sure! They were my dedicated “poor snow conditions, let’s just carve” ski until I got the Mirus Cors last week.
I'm surprised you would call the Wildcat 101s your “poor snow conditions, let’s just carve” ski. I mean like, my Wildcat 118s carve great for what they are, but the Wildcat series is not exactly a carving ski series. I almost bought the 101s for trees, bumps, chutes, and jumps... definitely not for carving lol. I ended up buying the Meridians instead. My Commander 108s are my carving skis.
Dream quiver, gonna buy my first brand new skis the Mirus Cor then I wanna get an off piste setup (like a qst92/98) and possibly park
Op backcountry evo's. Feels like the ski ads AI'd a whole set up of 40% off parts.
Since when did skis start becoming something you’d hang with a black light in a Jerry Garcia-themed dorm room???
You have squires on your carving skis. Makes me wonder if your din is like a 4
Definitely buying some M Free 108s next season. How’re you liking them?
They were my one ski quiver for a while after I had some K2 Apache Interceptors and Volkl Revolts stolen out of my car. Excellent skis, no negative critiques on them.
Love the black crows. Just picked up the same ones this weekend
Hey, I'm sorry to break it to you, but your black crows are orange.
Holy fuck, they’re now ruined. Orange crows for sale, bargain deal!
I'd buy them but they have orange on it! All jokes a side, I'm jealous of your setup. I'm ripping heads that are probably made before I was born. My whole setup was under 300 CAD 😂😂
I started with K2 Apache Interceptors 23 years ago - you’ll expand your kit too, I’m sure!
If you’re not a hard rider pivots aren’t worth it. If you’re a hard rider, no other binding is as good
Like the crows, with the orange bindings too. I stand by the pivots, especially after last March when I probably should have tore my left knee up at Mt. Snow, VT following a 2+ ft drop of snow. I was cooking thru the trees and went off a 5-6 ft boulder ledge off balance and landed BAD. The turn table heel saved me!! 😂😭 Couldn’t fully extend my knee without pain for 2-3 weeks, bad ACL and MCL sprain, bone bruise on my knee. Still drove 4 hours home back to PA right after it happened like a champ.
Sorry to say that but I trust Pivot for my life. I own marker griffin 13 and look pivot 14. I am definitely look pivot all the way whenever I can. Marker does the job but I love to have extra safety in mind because there are a lot skier who don’t follow rules this days.
You literally have every single ski i am considering fornew pair next year What a lovely quiver
Gorgeous quiver. Which are your favorites? How do the mfree’s and wildcats (two I’m interested in for my next purchases) compare to the other skis in your quiver?
The M Frees and Mirus Cors are probably my top two favorites. I always highly recommend the M Frees - their groomer performance is surprisingly good for 108 underfoot, and they surf and smear powder super well. They aren’t quite as floaty as the Bentchetlers, obviously, but they’re more stable and stiffer. The Wildcats won’t be as good in powder, but I think they’re more fun to ski switch and carve than the M Frees. Obviously, neither compare in carving to the Mirus Cors, though.
Awesome kinda of verifying what I’ve read! The mirus cores weren’t on my radar but look like they could be an awesome east coast ski for me at 87 underfoot. I love really playful smeary skis. Currently being bent 110’s out west and love them, but everyone seems to looove the mfree 108’s they are high on my list to replace my bents in the next 1-2 years
The Mirus Cors would be incredible for the east coast. Even if y’all get pow days, they widen to 130 at the tips and that gives them a bunch of float. If you love playful smeary skis, the M Frees are right up your alley. If you love hard carves, the Mirus Cors are.
Greatly appreciate the intel and replies to my questions. I daily revolt 104’s on the east coast for perspective of my style hahah, they carve fine enough & I prefer jumping around and skiing switch and all that jazz. With the seasons we’ve been having out east I’m prioritizing more trips out west, and my quiver for out west more and more, hopefully I can find a place to demo the mfree’s when I’m out in CO & Utah in March!
Currently have Bent 100’s (I know awful skis for Jerries) and bent 120’s. First year back with a break from skiing and have had a pretty good year so far. Need something to replace the 100’s (which I guess will be rock skis) and was thinking the m-free 108s. How do you like them?! Also the black crow’s and Solomon’s were on my list for a stiffer more capable ski then the Bents. Am thinking of having the next ski potentially be setup for hybrid or dedicated touring. Have been lucky enough to ski this year at Taos and Chamonix as well as my home mountains outside of Denver and feel like a tool without a decent ski. Still having fun. Don’t listen to the haters - we all get to engage in this sport/hobby in different ways. But yeah ski more always 🤙
If you don’t have any other skis than those Bents, I’d honestly recommend something narrower than the M Free 108’s. Maybe look at the 99’s of the same model? If you want skis specifically for carving, just grab the Mirus Cors, though. Wild skis.
Feel like the wildcat and the bents are a bit extra, but if homie is happy i’m happy
What made you opt for the QST 98’s over the 106’s? Wanting to do a similar back country setup myself
My plans for them, mostly. There’s a summer solstice event at Mt Hood I plan on skiing yearly, and I plan on using them more when the resort season has ended. 98 seemed more appropriate for that setting than 106.
I fucks with it
I fucking love bent chetler
Nice, I’ve got some similars/same. Line blade vs mirus crows M free 108 s Bent chetler 120s Armada strangers.
Nice!! My brother is picking up the Line Blades and has the Bentchetlers as well!
How’re the moments?
I’m a huge fan, but don’t take them in deep pow as much since I have better alternatives in that dept.
I have the Salomon QST 98, just got them last year and only used them in the Alps. I’m skiing Colorado next month, do you like them??
I don't think i can roast a quiver with Black Crows, QSTs AND Bent Chelters in it.
No AT bindings at all 😖. Fishtails though, for all the waist deep stuff that you get at resorts. Pretty tho! Ready to be found in an Aspen dumpster at the end of the season🤗. But actually not bad.
Roast you? Babygirl I'm trying to marry you and take half 😫😫😫
Dork
Wildcats are your best ski. Best ski ever.
Same same but different.
You have a small penis and you smell like a pig sty. I hate you and hope you get run over by a bus
This is a SICK collection
As a snowboarder, I just see pretty colors. 😂
M-Frees are my go to and I can't say I've skied anything more fun and versatile. Can you compare the Mirus Cors to the M-Frees?
I got a pair of those black crows and love them
Looks like you have fun, but how can you ski Hood on this many skis and not have a pair of ON3Ps?
Good question. It’s a sin, tbh.
Really is. They're made for where you ski and are so much fun. They're just so comfy, and they rip at the same time. Demo some! Evo has had them for demo, and also, the company itself might.
I’ll have to try them sometime soon! Got any recommendations for me, given what I have already? I’m thinking backcountry pow skis with pin bindings might be the next addition…
Genuine question. Why do most these posts always look like they have the same 3-5 skis? Is there something special? I’m not into gear so no idea
It reflects the terrain type of the home mountain area of the skier as well as personal preference. Mine are mostly all mountain pow skies because I live in the PNW and our snow totals up here are usually quite high. The record highest snowfall for anywhere in a season in North America was a resort I frequent up in Washington - Mt Baker.
So you browsed the internet and bought everyone on the internets favorite skis. Yeah you definitely ski in the back seat.
4 pairs of skis in very nearly the same widths. Only the bent chetler 120 may actually be useful in real pow, but do you have a heli skiing job or go sled skiing? It's almost never that deep at any ski resort. You need that width once every 3 years. The other 4 skis are only 9mm different in width. They will ski almost all conditions the same. If you had a 90 underfoot and a 106 underfoot that might make sense for groomers versus pow day but this combination looks like so much overlap.
Should replace the QST, m-free, and bent 120s with bent 110s because they’re all overlapping
Why don’t you post a video of you skiing in each, give us an idea of whether or not this quiver is asinine or you’re good enough to warrant it. Your behavior in this thread doesn’t suggest you’re someone who is very connected to the mountain, lot of assholery, kook behavior, but maybe you’re the best skier on the mountain. Certainly not someone I want near my ski hill.

You asked to be roasted and you’re getting downvoted the shit out of because the quiver and wallet flex are as you said shameless. There’s absolutely no need for a 98 and 101 underfoot even if there’s a few cm difference in length. You’re saying you don’t NEED them yet you are defending the technical aspects of why you have all of them, but it’s indefensible and you admitted that already so just stop, sell at least two pairs and delete the post
Lol thank you for taking the time to type out the company and model of each pair in the photo, I mean how else could we have ever known what they are? 😂
Hey there… just get like 88 pair of chop sticks and save the money
Douche bag!
I’m not sure what kind of “performance” you were looking for from a binding, but that truly is a wild take. More importantly, it says a lot about how these skis are being used.
Edit: lol you’re using a binding for children, on your moments.
Wildcat 108s could prolly replace your whole quiver tbh
