SEEKr 110 SWIFT (Factory Seconds)

SEEKr 110 (Factory Seconds)

This review is for the 2019 SEEKr 110 model (188) which I rode ~30 backcountry days between Spring 2021 and Spring 2022. Paired with Dynafit Radical bindings, this ultra light setup helped this 42 year old skier (6', 200#s) go the distance on some long up routes without sacrificing any performance on big and technical down routes in Southeast Alaska and B.C.. The early rise rocker delivers incredible float in powder at the wide variety of moisture levels common to SE Alaska, worth noting is that the rocker profile make the skis ride short at times. Stiff tails help ditch speed when needed and overall the ski maintained stability at speed on groomers. I'm certainly sold on G3 and look forward to add other models to my quiver. Any ski this light gets tossed around pretty substantially in heavy crud or ski tracked conditions, however, assuming your primary use is in the backcountry these conditions are less likely to occur. I would call this a 90/10 (backcountry/resort) ski. I did encounter an issue with edge separation at the tip of the one ski which G3 warranty resolved promptly.

It was a great ski while it lasted. Fun and playful.
Sadly it broke on a fairly mundane run. Tried to get a replacement, but they only offered 50% on the full price of a ski that was already discounted 25%. So it was a bit disappointing, but not much you can do.
