I completely agree with you on that! that's about perfect with about 10mm rise,

But the winner is......

the "old" version MX 98 in 174! ?Long story short, there was a guy in MN twin cites area selling a pair used about 10 days mounted with Griffs, Greg was kind enough to contact and meet with this guy. ?They are in great shape, about 95% and he got them for me....$450.00 ?Deal of the season. ?Of course I need to buy Greg a few beers this season... and of course send check for 450.....

For the use in leftovers, sidecountry, tracked days, trees I dont really care about rocker given the performance of the Kastles. ?They will be killer spring skis as well taking me from firm stuff in the Am to slush in the afternoon.

Running length on the Kastles is long, my 176 mx78's have a longer running length of my 179 (really measure 177.5 tip to tail) pilgrims. so I think the 174's although normally would be too short, I think will be fine and be a lot of fun in the trees. The bent chetlers of course have even a shorter running length.
