I got about a dozen days in so far.
Mammoths lower runs, groomers were awesome .
They need a few more feet up top, 30" is not enough IMHO
Tried the backside yesterday to dodge the 45mph breezes , meh
Everything on wind hold by 11:30

@BobBitchen I have one day in. I did not make it to the world cup, no one wanted to go and I am not a big fan of weekends skiing. Someday I will get to it. I just wish it was a little later in the season.

Pow day at Jay Peak. One thing most people don’t know about northern Vermont is the powder rivals UT and Japan.

Hey @BobBitchen how do you like the Orb? Does she hold up at speed? Looking to replace a pair of my 184cm Mantra. Thinking this may fit the bill? Crud?

Great ski, two sheets of Titanal beefs it up, great @ speed, kills groomers & chopped up crud, good in the bumps too, great one quiver ski IMHO.
That said , I just put mine up for sale , I still have two pair of new, old stock Bonafides I ski daily. I just don't use the orbs enough.
$500 + shipping.
2018 Orb,
178.3,
marker squire, mounted for 305 bsl
Skied less than a dozen times

Yeah but no.
Maybe once or twice a year. You still get lovely ice coast weather most the time.

I keep looking at the storm rider 95. I finally skied the Bonafide in a 187 and it was awesome. I am looking for 180cm.

not the new model, Im on my 5th pair of "old" stock. I will be demoing the new ones this season as I can get a good deal on the them.
Friends that have skied the new model say they aren't as beefy as the old & don't like them as well, but say they are still a top line board, a small difference, but they are different .
