Recommended Skis & Bindings List

So the Legend Pro XXL at Bobo's is Mr. Eric Roners. There sale stock won't be in till Oct 1, so they have it for scratch and sniff. As far as being softer and lighter it is. Dynastar milled out the tip and tail to reduce weight and have a nice even flex. From all accounts, the ski rips as a hard as 194 LP'S, but with more float. Can't wait.....

I've had some delam issues with Dynastar, and I know of other people. Their customer service sucked, they delamed after 9 ski days in February, and they didnt sell me a crash replacement until the beginning of next season. Their skis ski nice, but they are made to be disposable. The topsheets are made of crappy wood, and get scratched and gouged easily. Just spreading the word.

I just got some 181 Scott P4s (the ones w/ the old 70s sunset graphics that has askier doing a mule kick) a couple weeks ago and I am really excited about them. I had the 183 Volkl Gotamas last years and loved those. From people who rocked the P4 they were very close to the gotama. The flex seemed almost identical, and the width of the ski was a little wider in the tip, waist and tail. Those skis will be sick to rock at altabird with my new Rossi 185s . For all of you telling me to get a longer ski, have the 193 Sanouks, I like having variety of a 180s skis & 190s ski depending on the conditions.

i think us ski great uk ski great then it get´s worse via france via the swiss and austrians till you meet german ski which is worst - they will serve only as a coffin like with technology i was on head on volants when us owned and on atomic which sound us but are austrian or german there i had accident
i think in europe you can´t ski except in scotland maybe german and europeans don´t have the brains to make anything work including skiing

karmas are noticablystiffer than gotamas though.

Yo marshal, any chance you could add recommended mounting points to this list (since I’m going to be the 1000th person asking where to mount a ski)?

feel free to compile some stuff and i'll edit it in. or make a thread and sticky it?

Santiago Mission...anyone...info?

[Free Range Lobster]

Honestly, after having skied the 7tms for a few days I'd throw them in the list (tele binding list) just on the fact that they're releaseable.

did you ski the 7tm powers?

I liked them a lot more than the all-mountains (probably because I'm bending traces)

i was about to ask this exact same question. It would be a lot of work though - many different people chiming in with their personal preference. At the end, you would probably end up with a range of points.

On that note, where is the best place to mount Nordica 190 W105s?

Here's a thought.

Freeskier mag recently set up the Snowpedia, a skiing WIKI. Current categories are Resorts and Athletes. It's definitely a work in progress, but it seems like the info in this thread might be better suited to a WIKI.

We could try to get Freeskier to create another category, or we could try to set up a WIKI elsewhere.

Thoughts?

The powers are definitely nicer than the AM's with TRaces but they seem to be fine so far with T1's.

I'm throwing a set of 7tm all mountains on a pair of Enemies for an "every day beater ski" and when people are like "omg so cool want to try" and I don't wanna put them on Hippies/Bombers.

meh... freeskier is cool enough as a magazine, but this info is more design for users of this site, vs. the freeskier 16yr old jibber.

[The Dad]

Okay, so leave the Freeskier aspect out of it.

As a structural issue, it still seems like a useful thing to WIKI rather than thread.

Recemending 190 Iggies with 920's would be a great idea for some 16 yearold to use in the park

I think it's a great idea. Said 16 year old has his parents pony up $1,400 retail for some FFFs and 920s, he hates them and he unloads them on the cheap here because that's where he heard about them. It's a win win for the TGR gear whores. Now go ask mommy for $1,400

[mountain_man]

so that was their plan all along...
