Thanks all, great info from all o you, appreciate it! Will most def try as many boots I can before I buy, but I feel its always good to be as informed as possible beforehand.

Thank you great info, looking forward to your take on the production model.

Any difference in forward lean between the Lange and Cochise? I tend to ski with a slighly more uppright stance and my daily driver is a ski with a somewhat centered mount.
Still havent heard much...

Interesting this. Leaning more and more towards either the Cochise or the Lange xt free-tour. Any thoughts or should I just go with the one that fits best? Will ofcourse try the other options aswell,...

Ok thanks! Are you happy with the liner for the Zero G? Seems to be popular around here to swith to Intuition liners.

Ok thanks thats very interesting. Im just assuming the heavier boots have a more alpine feel to them, but from what you are saying the zero G sounds like a solid choice. Im not heavy (80 kg) and...

Sure but the cochise should be sturdier? Or else why have the two different boots? Do you know what the difference between them is? My main concern isnt realy stiffness, dont need a superstiff...

To wide I guess, never got the fit quite right and had problems with shinbang. Not to keen on the flex either, not very progressive? But I havent skied that many boots so its hard to compare. So...

Its a jungle out there! The new salomon qst? Lange xt 130 freetour? Cochise 120? Lupo ti carbon ($$$!)? Pinnacle?

Need to replace my old cochise lights which had an ok fit but never great. Have...

Ski 1000 days and you will have a knee-injury. Statisticaly speaking :) if I understand this http://www.taosortho.com/Site/Arthroscopy_Pub_files/Skier%27s%20Knee.pdf correctly. Well Didnt feel like...

Yeah good points and you are probably right. But to say that 99% of skiers dont have any issues is probably incorrect in the sense that knee injuries are so common.

Why are they better? You might be right about the brakes though, havent checked. But the price is about the same.

Yes a bit weird that a race binding only comes in 12 and 16. Of course 16 is fine for freeride applications. However I like the concept of schock-absorbers to mitigate harsh blows to the ski/bindings...

Do you think theres any benifit with the shock absorbing pistons for freeriding? Read this blog by the guy that makes Hendryx skis...

Tried the prizm rose, liked them seems to offer a slight benefit over my yellow POC-lenses, dont have any oakley HI Yellow to compare with. Visibility was to good to do a propper test though, will...

Not much first hand experience it seems but I went ahead and ordered anyway. Ill get back with a short review when I can but it will probably be awhile.

Sounds good about the snow contours. Whats the VLT of the prizm rose? Cant find the info on oakleys webpage.

Need new googles for low visibility/flatlight conditions. Are oakleys prizm lenses as good as they claim for increasing the contrast? Or just marketing bs?

Could any Neoshell pant you know of work as a hiking pant in the mountains? How is the feel of the inner surface in for exampel the Rab neo stretch, is it that clammy rubbery feel that many(all?)...

Ok thanks! Will try a shim then. And maybe mount with inserts as well.

Sort of a JONG-question maybe but what effect would a high delta have on my skiing? Have a new pair of Downskis CD 4 with speed radicals and I have trouble figuring them out. Seems like I end up in...

Cochise light is my one boot quiver. Dont need stiffer but they are a bit big around the calfs, hoping new liner will fix this. Would love to try a tlt6 for touring, but $$$

Ok thanks! Maybe I should go with a dreamliner then. I'll send a mail to Intuition as well but all input is greatly appreciated.

How much stiffer will powerwraps make a Cochise light? Cant decide between dreamliner and powerwraps. Want a thicker more comfy liner for inbounds and will use the stock liner for touring. But I like...

Wailers are not stiff. Versetile and very easy to ski. Just saying. That said I think a wider ski would be better if your going to get a ski for Hokkaido. And yes go soft. At least from what I've...

So I want a new thicker liner for my 12/13 Cochise pro light. The upper edge of the boot bites my shin and gets quite painfull after a few days of skiing. So I think I'll keep using the original...

Can you compare them to the Cochise? Is there a substantial difference?

Yeah two liners, a powerwrap for inbounds and a pro tour for touring is prob the best. But $$$...
Do you prefere the luxery for touring over the pro tour?

Thanks for that, I have the same issue with my pro lite. Trying to decide between powerwraps for inbounds and keeping the stock liners for touring or pro Tours for both inbounds and touring. A bit...

Also looking to replace the stock liner om my pro lights. I feel like the Palau liner is to thin and the upper edge of the plastic puts pressurepoints on my shin and calf, realy all around my lower...

Looking forward to it!

That would be great, thanks! Not much info on these skis but I think they look very interesting.

http://www.skilogik.com/skis-rockerrocker-rockstarrl.php maybe?

Interested in these or CD 4 for a touring ski. But I'll probably hold of on bying anything for now. But thanks for the review and I would appreciate it if you write some more if you ski them more in...

I have used a number of Haglöfs products, mostly non-tecnical clothing but I also recently bought a down jacket, the Magi Down Hood. No complaints so far, really like the jacket. No experience with...

Not sure how much it would help with a thick glove between the heated grip and the hand? Could be worth a try I guess. Chempacks seems easier though, so long as you don't have to use it all the time....

Thanks, good to know. I'm still leaning towards the Cochise though, tried it on a couple of short runs and liked it.

"There is one thing that I feel that keeps the Scout from being an incredible ski, and it is lack of damping. Where the Scout fall short is in rough snow at speed: there is simply too much vibration...

Very interested in the Scout if they feel similar to the Cochise. But according to some review http://www.epicski.com/t/117609/2014-blizzard-scout-video-review its a lot less damp and more reactive...

Well I havent tried the Cochise pro 130 so I really cant say for sure but the light is supposed to have a 100mm last vs 98mm for the Pro 130 so I'm guessing its a no go for you. The light is of...

Have you tried the Cochise light? Very happy with mine, marginally heavier than Mercury or Maestrale but overlap and swapsoles. Probably a bit higher volume, but I would try them on if I were you....

This sounds nice, any idea of weight? If under 2kg per ski in 185 cm should be a great touring option in the Alps mounted with tech bindings. Really like the Cochise for its stability combined with...

So far really happy with my Cochise lights. Good walkmode, light, nice flex, easy to swap soles (prob around 5 min).

I would buy them just cause they sound cool. I mean MOTHERSHIP, thats just a badass name for a ski. To bad they dont make them anymore.

Yes tried on both sizes and both me and the bootfitter checked them to see if we could find something wrong. Didnt weigh the liners separately though so I cant tell if the difference were in the...

Well I guess that it depends in how you define significantly heavier, my Cochise light only weighs 100 grams more than the Maestrale RS and the Mercury.
On a side note, I noticed an odd thing about...

What about that heel pad? Useful or not?

G3, skilogik or one of these maybe? http://www.wildsnow.com/6957/ski-test-review-backcountry-skiing/
