We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

Jay is skiing the 191 ON3P Caylors. He actually designed a couple pairs of next year's skis for them- the Cease & Desist and one other.

Manly sticks are those Caylors.... but looked even bigger in that photo, which is almost identical to a few on their web site...



For those looking for a powder ski that can take big drops and rip fast turns while remaining playful in the trees and in the air, we’ve created the Caylor. Nearly symmetrical tip and tail rocker make riding and landing in deep snow a breeze, while the solid flex prevents the tips from getting knocked around in choppy conditions. A truly versatile powder ski, the Caylor is ready for whatever you can throw at it.

191cm Caylor

Tip to Tail Length: 191cm

Dimensions: 148/120/140

Running Length: 97cm

Sidecut Length: 162cm

Turn Radius: 27.4m

Tip Rocker: 35cm x 3cm

Tail Rocker: 30cm x 2.5cm

Tip & Tail Length: 14.5cm

Mount: -3cm

Full Twin

Yep, they're huge. I have the 186 Billy Goats, and those 191 Caylors are significantly bigger in every way.

By the way Superorb, I think you asked a while ago to report back on my new Canon 15-85mm lens. As you can see from these pics, it works pretty damn well is super sharp. Needless to say, I'm a big fan.

Yes, thanks. It's a pretty pricey lens for me, but it sure does deliver! 15-85 is a great range too, you might even be able to get away with not needing a 10-20mm lens. Is it aspherical at 15mm?
