I've now skied the Chedis on hardpack and deep pow and am banging my head wondering why I didn't buy these years ago. I went from a rear mounted big rocker tip with much less underfoot camber to a more confident, faster, and versatile ski. I adore the additional sidecut and the playfulness of the camber I feel in transition. Pretty excited to do more touring into different snow types to see what it's limitations are but it's literally perfect for my style of skiing (fast, aggressive turns) Haven't dove deep into Bishops binding since I already have a pair of outlaws but will give it a go with a demo this winter.

I've got my first few days in on the east coast and I love these skis. Big stable rippers at speed that are so light and playful that making tight turns is effortless as well. Really confidence-inspiring. I've got the BMF/R bindings on and they are sweet. So easy to get in and out of. I'm really happy with this new setup!

I absolutely love these skis. They are so nice to turn and stable on just about anything I have skied them on. The camber is wonderful and makes them so much fun to move around. I have been stuck in the wide and flat ski club for a while and these skis are a nice reset for me.

I patrol and am on my skis a lot when on the mountain. Theses are the right width, balance and snappiness to ski all day on.

Perfection in my book.

WOW! Seriously…awesome! I have spent several years and several attempts to find the ski/binding that I felt was made for me. It took me all of 12 turns to sprain my face from grinning! Bullseye Bishop! An axe-throwing bullseye!!! The Chedi is a perfect ski! Telem-arc technology defines its perfection! Drop the knee, load the ski and the ski flexes right under foot. An alpine ski simply cannot achieve this specific flex point nor magnitude; I know I’ve tried. Bishop explained Telem-arc engineering and manufactured it exactly! I love the early rise with flat tail, versus rear rocker. Chedi is very comfortable on edge on the groomers and at speed as well as beautifully floaty and flowy in the powder. Add in the BMF-R and the awesomeness is exponentially amplified. The torque generated by the toe-to-heel structure is very powerful and stable with zero lateral movement. The spring compression feels evenly distributed and compresses and rebounds confidently and completely. I feel zero energy is wasted by this binding. Super easy to dial in the compression strength too. I’ve not been in the back country yet but I can already tell the touring mode has the largest range of motion I’ve experienced. My search for a ski/binding setup is over! The Chedi (164cm, I’m 5’8”) with BMF-R’s is the perfect ride made expressly for me! Ride-on Bishop! Ride-on!

Quick and easy. It hasn't really snowed yet in Flagstaff, small storm here and there so we're skiing mid-way down on blown snow. Not at all what i was hoping for when one throws down a stack of $$$ on a new ride, Chedi and BMFR's. These are light, fast, and poppy. Everything Bishop claims. On top of that they are beautiful. I haven't got to skin any back country yet since its all rx, but the snow contrails that stack on the back of the skis, does't stick to the top sheet. they haven't snow loaded yet. If I had to find a down side,,,,, tough. Probably me but seem to stack on ski on the other in transition. Operator error, most likely has nothing to do with tip shape.
