The setup saw lots of winter as well as spring and summer days on the glacier.
I hope this helps give you an idea of how this setup was tested.
Ski Review:
The Mango 100 was excellent in most conditions.
The one area they seem to fall behind in terms of conditions is the ice.
In softer snow this ski has a mid-turn radius, 18m.
They do feel a touch slow edge to edge in comparison to similar width skis that I have ridden.
They gave me confidence in my turns through the most aggressive bumps as well as on softer groomers.
These skis do want to be ridden fast.
They make you want to absolutely charge all over the mountain and through the park.
Overall a 8 out of 10 for turning/carving.
Flex-
This ski is for sure stiffer than people on the internet believe.
The flex point is at an ideal location for a well-rounded ski.
Durability-
THEY ARE AT 180 DAYS.
The base is bombproof as of my knowledge.
There are no core shots and hardly any marks.

The sidewall and core are also great quality.
The pop has remained strong, and the camber lasted for a majority of the ski’s life.
No sidewall cracks or delamination anywhere other than where I ripped the edge out, which birngs me to…
Which really isnt that bad.
The first sign of damage I noticed was edge cracks around day 50.
The tip edge which started pulling a few days before ripped out on impact.
This ski gets a 9.5 out of 10.
Price-
Expensive but well worth it when your skis perform well and actually last.
Its relatively fair however I would like the skis to come down at least $100.
Binding Review:
Functionality-
Easy to use, setup, change breaks, and adjust.
The breaks somehow never broke but I did bend them back multiple times after crashing.
7 out of 10
The durability of the Tyrolia Attack 14 is decent.
Nothing ever broke but things got loose and wore down.
The heel piece has also got loose on the track over time.
This became noticeable when riding around day 120.
The complete setup:
I would not change a thing.
I bought the exact same setup again.
The bindings with their low footprint on the ski allow the ski to perform as intended.
I have had more fun and skied better on this setup than on any other setup in my lifetime.
If you choose to run this setup, I hope it treats you as well as it treated me.
