I agree with skibumnh that you should bring something that you are used to, but they really have improved the Aline. They got rid of the old screw-in canting nubs, replacing them with veras wedges,...

Today I returned the skis to their rightful owner. They belonged to the girlfriend of a race coach at Killington, so all is right with the universe.

Things are getting whiter and whiter in Burlington.....
look for me tomorrow Ill be the one looking longingly out the window at work.

In addition to this little preview to the 09/10 skis Armada updates

New for 09/10
181 Ant-same as 191 just shorter
Alpha 2- shaped like alpha one with a lower end base and core
ARG & JJ-sick...

Absolutely ridiculous driving on the way home from the bush today. It snowed steadily pretty much all day then, as soon as we hit paradise deli, it started dumping, maybe 25 feet of visibility. It...

You should read skibumnh's review it had a lot of good info about the JJ, in the worst conditions (AKA early season EC) and even compares them to the mantra which is a similar ski to your P100's. So...

No word back yet from either the skis rightful owner, or the skier that thought he could get in contact with the owner. Hopefully I hear from him soon, its snowing in Burlington.

The same guy who designed the Nordica Doberman series did the radium, and they seem to have a similar fit. They are super narrow, but have a small lateral stretch (a little punch on the outside of...

scratch S5/Brigade/BC (all the same ski)
Line Blend
Volkl Gotama
Movement Baggy

Any of them will do almost exactly what you want. I agree with the 180-185 sentiment.

If you want more of a...

I actually got a response at 2AM today from a guy on the US Ski team named Chris Beckmann saying that they might belong to a kid from the polar bear ski club of old forge. So if anyone has any...

Well, then if there is an 8th grader named Hinkley out there looking for his GS skis tell him to PM me.:biggrin:

So on my trip back to VT today after Thanksgiving I had the unique experience of seeing a pair of skis on the side of the road. The skis had obviously fallen off of the top of a car. So, being the...

I concur with PowTron, it is a sweet ski. I had them for a day in January at Stowe, they were definitely stiff and super stable. If you like XXL's you're gonna really like the Moship.

the Impact 10 replaced the X-wave 10, so they will be fairly comparable, but as it is always stated in any question about boots, go to a bootfitter and get their opinion.

Skirack in Burlington, VT will have them soon. Both the 10 and 12 din

happened to me as well, it'll be back soon after you get them

Garmont=98mm
Scarpa=106mm
BD=102 mm

(the AT boots from Garmont and Scarpa are opposite of their tele boots)

my vote would be for the 5 year warranty on the STH 14, also it is a bit wider in the toe if you are into that kinda thing.

stowe was pretty damn good today, looked a lot like the pics of jay a few posts up.

Depending on how cold it was when you were skiing, they will stiffen a little once the winter gets into full swing. That doesn't really seem to solve the whole problem though. I would go back to...

so jealous, wanted to hike stowe today, there was no snow...

When you think about the pandora think softer Elizabeth. My girlfriend, she is almost exactly your size, just picked up a pair in 171cm based on the idea that she really enjoyed the Elizabeth but...

here's your answer

search first, ask later.

So I may be very wrong saying this, but there is a difference in the durability depending on how the bases are constructed. If the bases are extruded, like on the cheaper skis (invader, other park...

I won a pair last year, I'm not sure of the model name, but they look to be about the same size as the Smith Phenom. I liked them, they have really good optics and are polarized. I would definitely...

so here's the cool thing about skis, most of them come in different lengths. So if a ski is recommended for a person who is say 6'2 180lbs, the same ski, but smaller would work for you.

so to...

Dear ezeastsideg,
It appears that you haven't spent much time on this forum in the past, so perhaps I should help you get aquainted.

Rule 1: Read before you post
Rule 2: Try not to ask...

the Czar is more of a charger than the SFB. Much stiffer, liked to make longer turns, i only got to ride it last spring for a few runs on a crappy day, but it would definitely be good quiver...

having owned both the Czar and the SFB I can tell you that the Czar is much stiffer. If you are looking for a jibbier ski that you can mount way forward go for the SFB. Also, on the SFB, the...

The best way to get a "good all mountain boot with good flex" is to go to a boot fitter, sit down and let them do their thing. Unless you and your buddy are perfectly identical chances are the boots...

185 EP Pro w/ STH14 <- Deep Days
182 SFB w/ Dukes <- Most Days
179 Prophet 90 w/ s914 <- Hard pack days
185 Scratch BC w/ scratch 140 <- jibby/ rock skis

bump 'cause somebody is gonna ask about which boots to buy soon

Ah Aspen, where the beer flows like wine and the beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

First of all, being a Burlington resident, I am so fucking tired of this whole situation. Yes the boards are probably in bad taste, yep the love has suggestive pictures on them, and the primo has...

god I hope you're kidding

I have some 914's that I'm looking to get rid of, make an offer.

The bladder probably shouldn't turn the water green and it may be time to replace it.

SFB = Soft
Katana= Flat camber, good addition to a quiver definitely not a one ski to rule them all

But you could have learned all of that from a quick use of the search function.

What kind of Salomon is she on, is it a 150 directional ski or 150 twin, that makes a big difference in sizing. As for a ski that will do every thing pretty well, the celebrity is it as long as you...

That is true, they all have pretty much the same shell. Some are more difficult to punch than others, the hot dogger's zebra print is a laminate so it would look really shitty after a punch, but...

FT BSL is much smaller than traditional boots. For instance the 28.5 has about a 310mm BSL, while the same size boot from Salomon is about 10mm longer.

Even after knowing that, go to a boot...

Mount the SFB 1-2cm forward? Isn't that center?

I used the kung fu soft shell pretty much all season last year, it was pretty awesome. When I needed it the jacket was super breathable and comfortable and with an extra insulating layer it was as...

winter is coming because the first kid from Connecticut explained to me that Okemo is better than Stowe because the lifts are faster...

So, to the best of my knowledge, Stowe Mountain Resort is owned by AIG or some subsidiary there of. Due to the unfortunate state of the US economy AIG ended up taking a $85 billion loan from the US...

buy 'em, deals like that don't stick around long

If you're gonna use alpine trekkers anyway, why not get the dukes?
I skied them all season last year and have no complaints.

I think they were just making fun of ole tanner. If memory serves, a few years ago he was arrested outside a bar while yelling at the arresting police "do you know who I am? I'm the best skier in...

For all of you who are amazed at those of us who cram our huge feet ( US size 13) into not so huge boots (27.5 about a 10) you have to remember that a shoe needs, NEEDS PEOPLE, to have a thumb's...
