When you discuss playing with the mounting location, do you anticipate needing to go forward or backward to make the ski perform more to your liking?
Ben,
I’m hoping I can move the bindings forward just a little (2-3cm), to make the ski a little more balanced feeling and nose press-able. If I were the “hard charging” type, I’d stay at the recommended line. I personally tend to like a mount somewhere between centered and “traditional”, so I’m looking forward to trying that move with the MVP.
With all the skis I test, I usually move the bindings all around to see if there is a spot I prefer more than the recommended line. Because of our limited time in Las Lenas I didn’t have that opportunity, so I’m praying to the snow gods so I can get back on these skis asap!
I’m curious if the pair you skied has the carbon layup? I have a pair on order with carbon in the 183 length, medium flex. I’m 5’8″ 175 and like a quick turning but capable ski. I expect my pair will be on the more playful end of the spectrum which I think is perfect here at Alta. Of course I’m looking forward to getting mine in hand so thanks for the write up.
Hey, Jonathan – yes, our pair does have the carbon layup. Hopefully we can compare notes at Alta.
Jonathan,
Sorry to revive a 3 year old comment, but any update on your MVP’s? Looking to get a pair in exactly this size/layup and I’m of similar size to you. Goal is for this to be my daily-driver/all mountain ski for CO.
Thanks!
Spencer
Nice comments…
This ski looks similar to my White Dot Redeemer with respect to rocker profile.
It’s 128 mm underfoot though.
I purchased it but have yet to ski it.
Do you guys have any plans to get WhiteDot skis for review?
Cloud 9 in Salt Lake carries the skis.
Thanks,
George
Hey, George, we’d definitely like to get on some White Dots this season, and we’re looking to make that happen.
What stiffness were you running on your pair? I’m thinking about medium/stiff. Would that be ok?
