Poster: A snowHead

Anyone skied both? Really like the shape and flex of the 105. Is the 115 just a wider version or are the flex characteristics very different?
Cheers!

@Arno, it's been a while, but a few years back I did demo them back to back. Pretty sure the 115 is just a scaled up version; it definitely still felt pretty stiff (especially in the tail).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@clarky999, pretty stiff is good (cos I’m not exactly a lightweight)
An absolute plank is bad because I’m lazy

Skied the 189 a few seasons back and it was way too much ski for me. Threw me all over the place

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@BobinCH, hmmm, may steer clear in that case

You'll need to Register first of course.

Yeah, the tails kicked my ass too. I don't think it was stiffer than the 105 though, so if that worked for you the 115 should be fine too... They're not complete planks - Heitz had to get an extra-stiff pair made up for La Liste. My biggest takeaway was that personally I would have liked (/needed) more tail rocker rather than necessarily much softer.

@Arno, I have the 115: it's rad. Yes it's stiff but pretty well damped and it's by no means an iron girder of a ski to handle. Tim has the 105s and I've given them a go for a day or so. They felt quite different to the 115 but I was running them on shifts rather than tectons on the 115 (definitely not the wrong way round...).

...I'd say the 115s have stiffer tails than the 105 but my memory is hazy as this was back in pre-Covid times.
