I should also note that there is roughly a 100 gram difference between the 93 and 104. I got the 93 prior to the 104 coming out. I personally think the 104 is the way to go if you're looking at this ski. Not a huge difference in weight and can handle deeper snow.

Let's call it 4.5 stars. Phenomenal toe piece and arguably the best one on the market. ATK toe piece's are likely more durable with no plastic pieces but I haven't had any issues with breaking the Ski Trab toes including ramming the toe piece under sticks and logs in the spring on accident. One time I thought I broke it but I could pop it back into place. My personal favorite toe piece on the market. Even with the toes locked, your boot can pop out a little easy if you're side hilling or slip skinning on fi...

Like all Ski Trab skis it's a durable and well built ski. It skis very well for its width as skimoco describes is. I tend to grab this ski when I'm heading towards more committing terrain. It is a touch heavy for a 93 underfoot touring ski though which is my only minor complaint. Overall it is a great ski with plenty of use cases.

I use this book for spring time trips to the Eastern Sierra and it's great. Plenty of beta, color maps and photos, and great details. The beauty of this book and the Eastern Sierra, once you go back into a drainage you'll see countless other lines to ski that aren't in the book.

Super solid race or touring backpack. Plenty of storage, good durability, and it carries skis well. I use it for racing and touring and it excels at both.
