Didn’t you own one or both (10 and 11) of the Sheevas at one time ? Somehow I remember your review. BTW, I’m a fan and have both! It sounds like the 10 hasn’t changed much. Really interesting about the changes in the 9’s.I'm excited for the changes in length! I can see myself on a 96 under foot in a 168 for most powder and leftover powder days. I was always between sizes on either Sheeva for what I'd want them for. I've always loved the Sheeva line but the lengths for me just never quite matched up.
I had the 9s for a brief time, and the 10s for longer but the 10s were too short for what I wanted.Didn’t you own one or both (10 and 11) of the Sheevas at one time ? Somehow I remember your review.

Actually I meant the 9's and 10's ..... Mine are an appropriate length for my stats even with the changes (157 to 156) unless I want to try the new 162. My Rossi Saffron 7's that I had for a few years (2015-2017) were 162's....I had the 9s for a brief time, and the 10s for longer but the 10s were too short for what I wanted.
The changes in length though come with additional rocker. They tightened up the size run a bit (6 vs 8 between sizes) but I don’t think the new 174 will ski much different, length-wise(, than my 172. I will be interested to try them, but they certainly are narrowing their eastern audience by widening the 9I'm excited for the changes in length!

I'm pleased I have my current model, I dont think I could justify going to a 96 (esp now my knees are shot to pieces) as daily driver over here.The changes in length though come with additional rocker.

Additional rocker = more fun in soft snow I don't get to test this year so am not sure if I'll get out on any or not.The changes in length though come with additional rocker.

Too bad as you've skied the older version.... do you think they're available to demo?Additional rocker = more fun in soft snow I don't get to test this year so am not sure if I'll get out on any or not.

I can probably get on a pair somehow. The shop my husband works at is a Blizzard dealer although I don't know if they'll get any in this year. But yes, and I have the Santa Ana 98 so could compare the two as well.Too bad as you've skied the older version.... do you think they're available to demo?
Yeah, I am sure the additional rocker and wider waist are appealing in the West, but the “soft snow” is not as frequent of a commodity in the East. With the 2024 redesign, perhaps they will need to add a Sheeva 8 for 2025.Additional rocker = more fun in soft snow I don't get to test this year so am not sure if I'll get out on any or not.

Uh oh. What if you like the new design better?I'm going to the Industry Demo Days January 24-25. I can try them then.
