XTR Team Review - Restart
A number of factors have delayed and sidetracked the completion of the XTR Team review. We moved, I went down an odd path with fin settings and I have generally not had much quality skiing. So we are mostly moved in, I am skiing at the new lake and the review is back on track.
The last 2 times I skied I ran 38. Generally running 38 makes my happy but considering how wacky my skiing has been this year it is an even bigger deal. So bottom line is the ski works.
This ski gets high on the boat (wide) but it requires some physical effort. The flip side of this is that the ski always turns. It just turns. It never does not turn. It is a turning machine.
Current settings are curtesy of “Kevin the Person” ( @bishop8950 ) not to be confused with “Kevin the Dog”
2.470 / 6.885 /.72 / 9 ( tips and head of the caliper methods.)
More details to come soon.

Did Kevin and Kevin sniff each other's butts?
It has occurred to me this should be a reminder to everyone that binding measurement is probably the least accurate thing we do. My bindings did not measure exactly the same as your bindings. In this case it is amazing how different the ski feels with that very small move

My settings measured with a Goode slot caliper are 6.826, 2.742, 0.740, 9, 29.25.
I should have put @Horton fin in the same place, but I might also have put it in backwards.
I did enjoy meeting Kevin the dog, no butt sniffing required.

@Horton, you can run -32 on an ice chest lid! We have seen you running -35 on every ski you have ever skied. Commentary on ski behavior at -32 and -35 is fine, but no more videos that don’t include-38 and -39.
Except for Buford videos. I would watch her -32 videos without complaint.
