Ditto, I have had 5 pairs of their skis over the years and there is no way that would happen if it were not for Marshal and everyone else there I have dealt with.

Good to hear it fits

FWIW my Alpha SV is around 10 years old and was designed for a climbing harness. It is way shorter then the new Beta AR I have. I think a lot of things regarding fit have...

There are at least two. I have seen the one under 2 twice this week plus one half way up 9.

The terms Alpha, Beta and Theta have more to with the cut then the fit. Alpha is climbers cut, Beta is mid length and Theta is long. SV means severe and AR means all around and have to with the...

I ski the Movement logic X for a spring mountaineering ski. I am very happy with them but mostly because of the weight. They are 4.5 pounds per pair in the 176. As mentioned there are trade offs...

I just bought the BCA pack. I really wanted the Mammut but as mentioned you can't get them.

The things I really like about the BCA after using it are the hydration hose that goes in the...

Just Google shit for brains couloir and you will get a few videos of it.

Personally I don't think any of those couloirs are in very good condition so far this year. This is Colorado the snow that...

I have the new Covert Avalung that holds the helmet in two places. On on the back where it is more convenient or you can flip it up to the top when you are carrying skis. If you look at the picture...

You may have certain bio mechanical issues that cause your skis to run together like being knock kneed or duck footed. If so you may want to cant your boots or bindings.

I have been fighting...

The same people who own Movement also purchased the old TUA factory in Tunisia. Nanni Tua was managing the plant for them. I don't know if this is still true but I think it is and I also think he...

Many thanks.

I only need the toe pieces in good condition.

Hey Marshal, how about for some pures on BC mostly longer less deep pow days. I was thinking on the line.

I have the 120s for the big downhill oriented BC days.

Thanks, James

They look like...

I skied the Logic X as my spring couloir ski last year. They are crazy light and fairly stiff especially considering their weight. I would not want to ski them in any type of softer or deeper snow...

I don't know anything about next years skis but last year the Jackal did not have any rise. I have two years on the Scoop and it is a nice very easy ski to ski but on the softer side. It has early...

A heat gun with scraper but you will have to take off the glue and reapply. I do this with a heat gun and scraper. This is by far the easiest way to remove and reapply the glue. Once you heat up...

I think these will work fine for what you want. I use the very similar Neve Pro for exactly what you describe.

Steve my BD Neve Pros fit my LA Sportiva Makalus and Ice boots but both these boots have welts for crampons. They also fit my T-2s. They don't fit my TX Pros as well due to the notch for the pins...

That you over analyze minor things. Buy the jacket and pants. Pick the color you like the most and go out and use them.

I would get the Beta AR for all around all year use for your size. Just make sure you size it put your puffy under it.

I also have the Stinger Bibs and Theta SV. The Stingers are very baggy and...

The Beta AR is my back country skiing jacket. Mine is older and it is lighter and packs better Then the longer Theta or heavier SV jackets which is why I use it for BC skiing. The Beta length works...

I have a powder skirt on my FlyLow jacket and I never even use it. I find them annoying but like most things YMMV.

The difference between these two jackets is almost nothing. 63 grams lighter material in parts of the jacket in the AR. At altitude with really nasty winter weather I would want the SV but for...

I think you will swim in the large. The cuffs are huge at least on the large and should be no problem.

FWIW I wear black.

I have both Stingers and Theta SV. The Theta SV are a very athletic snug fit and the Stingers are very baggy. I way prefer the Stingers due to the thigh pockets, extra length and roomier fit. I am...

As of yesterday you can drive up and past the Butler turn off and up to where the road turns left crosses the creek in to the trees. So basically not out of the valley.

If I were to buy gear I would get Scuba Pro. Having said that I would be careful buying a regulator unless you dive a whole lot. You really should have your regulator serviced every year so it can...

SheRa I don't know for sure. I think Patti's husbands name is Tommy. He is about 6' 5" .

I don't know She Ra and don't want to step on any toes. If you can afford it I would get in touch with Patti Banks and do a private lesson. I know her because she is a PSIA Nordic Examiner. She...

Very nice I was up there on the 23rd in the exact same conditions in the exact same place. The pass was closed for two days and when it opened he conditions were unbelievable.

Try silk socks.

I am not sure I would call the Trust hooky. If the ski is hooky then detune the rockered part of the tip.

I think the ski may be a bit to turny for some especially if you want a ski like the...

I agree. I would think a 190 pound expert skier on bishops with Crispi CR would snap those skis in half.

James

Then why do racers use narrow skis. Are they lazy like me. I think the active part of both our quotes is "as well"

I am curious why you think the Mantra will carve at a higher speed then the...

I know a few people on the Drift or Starlet that fit you description and they are very happy with their choice.

I ski the Hi 5 in the BC and am very happy with them and have a few good friends on...

Your son is no slouch. I have skied most of the Movement line up and think the Fly Swatter is the last one I would want to ski at speed.

For flying down groomers with confidence I would take the Kendo over the Mantra. For handling a decent pow day I would take the Mantra but can think of many other skis I would prefer to have for any...

Nice, I saw you at the Basin and commented on the skis in the lift line. I did a double take thinking it was you but loaded the lift. I should of said Hi.

James

I would agree with the OP on everything he said except the weight. I think they are heavy. I also don't think they shine doing GS turns at speed especially if they are mounted on the line. They...

No but your question leads me to believe you think it is the ski suit and not the person who is responsible for the behavior. :biggrin:

Think back to when you were 16 and see if you can answer your own question. :wink:

Hi 5, Trust and Super Turbo

186 Trust versus 192 Super Turbo

188 which is what I would get if I were you. At 450 mm they have quite a bit of rocker

The question is inserts. NTN or any other binding will not matter. If they are installed properly and you use locktite and check the screws occasionally QK will work fine.

As far as the above...

There is no Goliath anymore. The Trust is the fatter rockered replacement. There is another post on the front page about the Trust and Super Turbo.

I have always assumed I am the only person in the world who prefers Manhattan.

Since you are putting Axl's on them I would assume she will be using these in the BC. If so then get the T-1. She will not grow out of them. No one would. I skied both for years. The T-1 in the...

I have not skied the other two but here is some info on the Super turbo.
