    Well then I guess its no new news to any of you that you all suck at skiing... At 140lbs I have destroyed those pieces... Hoji's smooth, not the best either though... Wouldn't trust my life to that bonafide xc binders!

    +1 to that. I'm getting the 112s, and they sound like a really light, versatile ski. The Pures would be ideal for backcountry.

    You probably ride 130 flex boots, crank your metal race-stock bindings up to 15 DIN, and brag about how that means you're RADGNAR. Congratulations! You're a hack who can't balance for shit, muscles his way through everything, and thinks it makes him a good skier.

    Here's some free advice: at some point in your life you might decide it's nice to keep your ACLs.

    EDIT TO ADD: Bluehouse Monarchs are lightweight (~1900g/ski), rockered, quite stiff, and 96 in the waist. They're great if you're OK with an 18m sidecut. Plus they're on sale for $315 through 28 November with code "BLACK FRIDAY".

    Have you ever considered that you break shit because you suck? Granted if I was hucking regularly I wouldn't do it on dynafits but for everything else they're bomber.

    We've won it. It's going to get better now. You can sort of tell these things.

    Would I ski them every day at a resort...no. IMO these are the best back country binding. I have years on these have only had one unwanted release and it was because the ski overflexed hucking a 15-20 footer. I ski agressively as well and I am 6'3 and 200 lbs. My vertical ft12 have been great.

    To even be included on this list is flattering. I would give a look at our construction, specs, and shape H2H against the others on this list....I think we stack up pretty well. I am looking forward to get more mags on skis soon. Now it needs to snow in Euroland. (Review)
