Switching skis, new settings question

[BobF]

Hi All,

 

I pulled the trigger on a ski upgrade, and I'm looking forward to getting this season going! Moving from a D3 Quest to an ARC. I don't change skis often, and it's been my experience that I take a while to settle into/tweak a new ride. My usual process is to spend about a week thinking about all possible combinations/permutations of old, new, and others settings to come up with something.

 

My personal settings have always leaned toward the deeper/shorter side and the ARC definitely has recommended settings that are shallower/longer than the Quest. Question for you that are more adept at changing skis: Would you recommend starting at factory settings for the new ski, or start by using my current settings for the old ski?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I suggest that you start bone stock. The ARC has a better off side than on side so I would tend to migrate toward longer and shallower.

I agree with Horton. I can't believe I just typed that. Start at stock. If you have any problems, email or call Paul Crawford or Will Bush. They will help you.

Thanks for the advice @Horton and @Dirt! Will go factory and apply Jay's book as needed.
