The idea is really interesting, but it’s hard to swallow the price of almost 4 new pairs of “semi” custom made Praxis for instance! I wouldn’t hesitate if I was looking for something really specific specially if I was competing, but for a recreational non pro or non comp skier it’s hard to justify the price! Btw, I’m curious to see rocker profile pictures!
Marcel,
To be honest, I think Wagner will cater to the non pro/comp skier as good as anyone. Their skis shine regardless of ability, and the way they feel and ride do not require professional ability, even with this model. They’re meant for a good skier looking to become an even better skier, perhaps by means of improving their equipment. If you feel that equipment has a profound influence on your performance, then they’re worth it. If you feel you can drive anything, and it’s mostly the skier not the ski, then consider what’s most practical for your situation.
Standby for rocker profile pics, we’ll include them when I return from travel…
could have sworn that you rocked k2’s for one of the stops, but that was back in january.
Yes, I rocked the K2 Annex 118 in Cham this past January after the venue received significant snowfall prior to the event and I needed more floatation. If conditions had remained firm and variable, the 189 Wagner would’ve been the call.
im sorry but 1700 is a retarded price for skis.
I’m looking for a ski that’s similar to the first one you had built, a solid ski for variable comp skiing and technical lines. Maybe an older version so I can find a deal. Not a Cochise. Dyna xxl?
kai take a look at on3p wrenegade!
Kai,
Check out the Moment Belafonte if you can find a pair. They haven’t changed the ski much so any year will do. The XXL is super solid but the tip profile is limited in terms of rocker and abruptness.
I have a Wagner ski designed but I have not pulled the trigger.
I believe equipment in any sport is the denominator of the performance equation BUT…
I can’t help wonder if one of the following might be comparable.
Your thoughts please.

I have a pair of Wagner Customs. I have skied them through last season and this 2016/17 season. I would say they improved my skiing in a massive way. Part of the process is that he has you fill out a questionnaire … I am a life long skier but I do not have a lot of knowledge of ski design.
Since Pete designed my ski without any of my bad ideas… or nods to current fashion… I ended up with a ski that was better than anything I could have asked for.
The ski so effectively improved my skiing that I am sort of terrified by how much gear affects performance when it comes to skiing.
That last review says it Ll
