Any views, opinions or reviews? Comparisons with DPS 112's/Rossi S7's? Sold anywhere over here, or would I have to order from the US?

clarky999, someone here has a pair which they ordered from the US. Can't remember the username. Your questions may be best answered on TGR.

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

Bit of chat about them being altered for next year and "much needed tweaks" - personally I'd stick with the more tested indie S7 varients, or even the S7/Super 7, but TGR and if you dare, Newschoolers is going to be the place to ask.

I doubt you will find anyone here that has skied the Billy Goats/112s/S7s, happy to be proved wrong but I reckon TGR is your best hope.

arv, i've skied with 2 people on S7s... does that count?
there is a bit of a bias towards indie mfrs on TGR (esp when they are owned/run by maggots) which you need to take into account but loads of good info on there

Megamum, I think they are for experienced skiers only.

arv, you get me wrong - no yen for such things here, its just that Billy Goats are such horrid smelling foul things I can't imagine anyone would want to name a pair of skis for them.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Megamum, billy goating is also a bit of ski terminology to describe the way you descend steep slopes with random obstacles - bushes, rocks, little drops etc

Billy-goating v. Picking a dodgy line through rocks, chutes, scrub etc with lots of non conventional manoeuvres

You know it makes sense.
|
Arno, fatbob, thank you both  I am now wiser, we ought to add it to the glossary if its not already there. Never anything I though would be a ski related term, though of course I see the link in the desciption and how a goat moves. Apologies to the OP for OT.
