Ok, so I saw a pair of Fischer Transalp Pro Carbon. I have the Transalp Pros myself. I held them in my hand and looked at them. These were black cuff and dark grey lowers with "Transalp Carbon"...

Just to clarify, I don't regularly ski very steep stuff but I have some projects I would like to do. Lightness is priority though, as I could potentially use my old setup for the steep runs.
Now I...

I'm considering buying a light and fast touring setup. My lightest setup at present is Scarpa Maestrale RS, Dynafit Stoke 191 and Dynafit DIN12 bindings.

What I'm looking at now is one step up in...

This was worth a post. A long list from the local ski store. Nice work guys

Edit: I have to correct myself:

The Rocker 18 has a pocket for the shovel and holder for the rest of the gear inside the main compartment.
The 30 Light has almost nothing, no avy gear...

I really wanted to buy the Vulcan but when I tried it I got a cramp in my foot just having the boot on unbuckled. Buckled was even worse. I couldn't be bothered to even try to fit that to my foot....

Now everyone is just saying the same thing. This is the point. It's just nice to gather the cases where it didn't work. It's easier for people to remember actual cases where it didn't work then just...

Mr Obvious :rolleyes2

The point of this whole thread is to discuss the statistics presented by ABS and to have a healthy scepticism. I don't think anyone believes they do not help at all. To you...

Yesterday a group of Swiss skiers with a French guide got caught in an avalanche i Northern Norway. Unfortunately 5 died. This was just a couple of hours from the location of the accident I wrote...

Excellent info, thanks Knut

This is a good discussion. I still believe it works but it would be nice to see more thorough research and more cases.

By the way ABS states they have 262 cases analyzed by SLF Swiss Avalanche...

Last week we tragically had an avalanche which killed two men (leaving behind a total of 7 children) who were touring in Northern Norway. It was a large avalanche, 2-300m wide, 0.3-1.5m thick at the...

It appears as if they've changed the new Windows Live Movie maker to the worse. Previously I could just create a custom output format as 1280x960 pixels but now it appears I can't do that anymore....

Amplid Teddy Rocker

The longer ski, because it will be more stable. A ski which is 15 cm shorter will most likely feel flimsy and difficult to control at speed.

I'm looking for a large Cannondale Prophet MX frame

PM me if you've got one or know where I can find one.

No sorry, then you're screwed (lots of pun intended) those bindings are useless now. I can take them for $5 since I like to collect useless bindings...

Because I would like to be able to quickly switch switch to my skinnier skis with dynafit bindings if I feel like it. Can't be bothered changing soles on the boots every time I switch skis. And the...

I'm wondering if Black Diamond Shiva AT soles will work fine in Look PX12 bindings. Will there be problems with the release mechanism using rubber soles?

The reason is that I have dynafit bindings...

I thought these could deserve a thread of their own. Looks exciting as an alternative to Factors. Waiting for reviews...

Those are the best bindings. The same as Look P18. Awsome stuff, I have 3 pairs. You can find really good mounting templates in pdf format here on the forum. You'll have to search yourself... The...

Is that just a normal plastic waist buckle? Like on a normal pack? That's not really well thought trough if it is. You will risk your pack getting ripped off in an avalanche. It'll be easy for your...

Yes I do understand the concept of the airbag system and the other obvious things you mention :rolleyes:

But as you say, lots of people die from trauma. That indicates something obvious to us all....

Ok so I'm considering buying an airbag pack and I think I prefer the Snowpulse pack over the ABS in all aspects but one. It only has one airbag.

There was recently a guy in our local skiarea who...

Any info or reviews about the Lib Tech NAS Freeride ski? I can get it for half price and I must admit they are kinda funny :)

(Impossible to search for "Lib Tech NAS Freeride" on this forum since...

A store in Oppdal Norway has two pairs of 184 in the store and will probably get the 192 in today. Fondled them and they seemed nice, just as you would expect

Stop descieving yourself and step out of the closet. Deep in your heart you know you only want pictures of naked men

I can't decide which size, 175 cm or 185cm, suits a girl of 175cm and 55 kg. She's a good skier but thin and light and and currently skis 170 Mantras.
I would guess the JJs ski really short and may...

Yes I'm sure you're right. I didn't get to try it much.
The conditions vere really poor pre-season skiing. Ice base with a little bit of new snow on top. Only groomed runs. Jester bindings and...

Yep, that's all I'm saying. And I personally also think the turning radius is too short to facilitate high speed carving. But then again they're not meant as a high speed charger. For such a skier...

Ok sorry, slow from edge to edge was what I ment. Sluggish...

And yes a pair of 190 cm 112 Pure feel heavy compared to shorter skinnier piste skis.

My review was only addressing the posts I...

I tried the 112 pure skis a couple of on-piste runs in poor conditions and I can't say they were really impressive. I'm used to skiing fatskis on piste so I'm used to them being a bit heavy and slow...

Alright, awsome! This is cheaper

I'm a Euro and the most interesting smaller skimakers are North American. I'd definately prefer to buy from a smaller company with progressive designs but that gets really expensive for me.
A pair...

It looks like you're correct sir :) So this is then definitely in the contest

I think the RP112 will just be too turny for me, 15 m radius (!) thats like a slalom ski. Plus it's really expensive. I could however imagine that a 200 cm RP112 with a longer radius would be nice
...

Girish is nice, it's added to the list in my head. Neg is that it's got no rocker.

Ok I may get slaughtered for this type of post but here we go.

I need a everyday ski that can carve groomed runs and slay powder. The perfect ski would be a 190ish cm, 110ish mm waist, 20-25ish m...

It's a last resort so I can accept that it's a pain in the ass. Otherwise the skis are going in the dumpster. I might just get the standard t-nuts, I know where I can get them cheap.

They're...

Old-school as in super stiff, traditional camber, long radius as opposed to a lot of the new skis coming out. So yes, old-school

The Rossi B104-Squad 194cm is on sale for only $199 at Department of goods, seams like a good deal for anyone interested in old-school superstiff skis:

Thanks a lot, I'll check with them

Hi, I know ther's lots of discussion about inserts and I've seen PuderLuders inserts but I don't trust I wouldnt rip them out. I have a pair of skis with a core of soft wood. I've already ripped the...

Ok, more info on this! Pictures!

The bindings are complete with plates. He told us that the ski was supposed to come with a plate, which I've never heard about. The screws could of course be too long, but that shouldn't be that...

Hi

My girlfriend bought a pair of 2008/2009 Volkl Auras for mounting with Dynafit Vertical bindings (the up to din 10 version). I normally mount all my bindings myself freehand but I didn't dare...
