  1. Great review. They had a Sego demo day at our local hill this weekend up at Snoqualmie Pass. I did not try that ski but tried several others like the Cleaver which was awesome. And the 120 waist semi-swallow tail Prospect in a 187, my wife skied 2 ladies skis same shape with unicorn on the tip one was a low-fat layup 92 waist RCR ski and loved them super playful and accessible….I think it’s called Up To is the name in a 174, then skied its big sister in a 110 waist with full lay up….Lindsey Dyer ski – super stout RCR ……

    The 110 Sego women’s ski and the 120 waist men’s ski will be joining their relatives in the garage.

    Sego makes some good skis….not too far away in Victor Idaho.

    We are so excited ….Heidi may get the 92 & 110…..I’m all in with the 120

  2. Skied these at a demo day in Big Sky this winter. Even as a decidedly directional skier these felt super intuitive and easy to adjust to. Loved the pop and stability on landings. Highly considering these for next year.

  3. Hi there! How would you rate these against the Nomad 105 (normal)? I ski Chamonix, so a lot of crud when it’s not good. But want a poppy ski. When it’s good I ride the Nomad 125 – it’s awesome!

  4. Hey Cy, I’m very confused with regards to pick the Sego Big Horn 106 or the K2 Marksman as my one ski quiver. I mostly do bumps, trees, advanced off trail terrain (inbounds though), and love to jump off of eveyrwhere in the mountain.

    Given that profile, which would you go with? I think I might be leaning to the Marksman.

    Thanks!

  5. Hey Cy,

    Great review! I actually picked these up as my go to BC skis because of this article. I was wondering if you ever mounted the skis back a few cm? I am going to put D fits on these and the recommended mount point just seems
    to far forward. Was looking at going 2-3cm further back? Just curious to see if you tried that.

    Thanks!

  6. Hi Cy,

    Thanks for the good review! This ski is on the short list for expanding my one-ski quiver to two, and I’m curious for your thoughts on it, even though they might also be addressed in the upcoming deep dive. I have a season pass at Loveland, and also like to hit the skin track there and do slackcountry laps around the front range. Right now my dedicated resort rippers are the Black Crows Navis 185s, and I feel pretty happy with them in most conditions, particularly in the wind chop and variable stuff that’s all over Loveland. I also like to drive them hard on groomers. Where the Navis falls short is powder performance and playfulness, and that’s OK. I just ordered some Shift bindings, but can’t decide what to put them on. I’d like something that will make a good counterpart to the Navis, meaning good in powder and fairly playful, but doesn’t completely suck on tracked-out runs and groomers, since they are inevitable at the end of the day. (Having tried the Origin 106, this last part ruled them out.) I’m curious if you have any rankings of powder vs. playfulness vs. groomer and chop performance between these skis (likely in a 187), the Candide 3.0, the Atris, the Kartel, or something else I should consider? I’m 5’11” and 190 lbs.

    Thanks!
