I do. IMO there’s not that much in it. They both ski great. I’d say the Zed feels a little smoother while the Alpinist might have a slight edge in terms of power transfer. I prefer the Alpinist as...

Mine aren’t, significantly >1.5mm

I’d read this on Blister and was concerned by it too. I’ve got three days on my alpinists, as does my girlfriend on hers, and I haven’t noticed it on either in the field. If I have some time I...

Yes, this is what I was getting at. Ski width / construction and mounting method (I’ve had good results helicoiling toe piece holes) are definitely important factors. For skis >100mm I’ve come to...

auvgeek has given some great advice in this thread. Of the skis on his list, both the MTN 95 and Navis Freebird are lightish and ski extremely well. If I was buying one ski to take to Chamonix and...

Cleaning out the closet... would prefer to sell skis / bindings as a package unless I get a particularly attractive offer to split them.

192cm Praxis GPOs, medium plus flex, mounted with Guardians...

The Baud book is great but has, imho, been superseded as the reference for Chamonix skiing by the Toponeige / Volopress book(s) - which are both more complete and more up to date (my understanding is...

There's a comment from someone on the skimo.co page stating that they've been in touch with the owner and that he confirmed a lateral and vertical RV of 10 for the SCTT. Sounds like a killer binding

I skied these boots (shells only, with intuition liner) for literally one run before realising I needed a different size. Liners have not been baked or skied in and the boots are still with their...

Should be fine. I've twisted a few back from that position with no adverse effects

Does anyone have any experience with this pack? Limited information out there but (apart from lack of...

Very helpful write-up.

Does anyone know (or know where I can find) the bootsole lengths for the Cochise - specifically the bsl of a mondo size 30?

I tour alone occasionally. I'm a really strong swimmer though, not sure I'd be comfortable solo if I wasn't

sick. really nice vid

Not sure what the etiquette is on spamming one's own ebay auctions, or for that matter whether the price meets TGR standards. However, that said ...

I have a pair of Praxis Powder Boards for sale....

IMHO foam liners are the shit when it comes to perfomance. Comfort can be hit and miss, my first time round was awful; I took advantage of the (/Surefoot's) guarantee, got a whole new set-up for free...

Probably worth checking out backcountry outlet's selection

This is, I think (still curious about the tail ...), exactly what I'm looking for, something to fill the gap between my Tahoes and Praxis Pows. The LLs sound like just the ticket.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply -

There definitely seems to be alot of contrasting information out there. Think I'll pull the trigger and hope for the best ...

I've done a pretty thorough search, here and elsewhere, and can't fine much information on these skis.

Does anyone have any info? Specifically what do they weigh and how does the camber/ rocker...

My experiences of the Dukes and the FR+ have both been positive. The one thing I would say about the Duke is that I feel alot more comfortable on the days when I ski it inbounds than I have done on...

Thanks for the help :cool:. Code has been obtained and skis will be ordered pronto!

thanks man, much appreciated

I'm looking to pick up a pair of Wailer 105s and am trying to get ahold of a rep/discount code. Are there any DPS reps out there that I can PM?

Cheers

:fmicon:

This has been my experience too, but Fritschis do seem to come out top in tests even if not by that much

Link to results of Lou Dawsons test

It's not looking good.

Sounds like I'll remount.

Thanks all for the quick responses

:nonono2:

Tried the search function but no luck.

Does anyone know the range of adjustment of Salomon 916 bindings? Particularly, will a binding mounted for a 325mm bootsole be able to accomodate 345mm?

Will any of this software work for a Sony MP3?

Bump, to update.

I went with the Cloudveil RPK's in a large, they arrived today. The waist/length is perfect for me - 6'5, 32 inch waist - and the fit is much more relaxed than other longer pants...

1. Home mountain? Vail
2. Years skied? 17
3. Favorite band to get pumped to? Jedi Mind Tricks
4. Favorite activity other than skiing? Mountain biking
5. Ever do time? No
6. Favorite ski movie?...

Black is not bootylicious enough for me, I want something that will show off my curves ...:biggrin:

Sounds like they might be "the one"

If this is the case then these look sweet: http://www.cloudveil.com/mens/c-vertical/bottom/F5-3605/

Anyone tried them?

^seconded.



Agreed, it sucks their only available in black. What does the 10000/5000 refer to, breathability?

cj: thanks for the reply, looking into Arc'teryx. Does anyone have any experience with Burton? These look promising:

Does anyone know of any comapanies who make ski pants for tall skinny people (I'm 6'5 & 185lbs)? I've searched and found lots of good stuff - Bad Roo's 'I've shit my pants' thread was a highlight -...
