The majority of my ski time is east of the mississippi, so i'm wondering how the mid-fat ish 108 waist will do on ice coast groomers and whatever backcountry fluff can be found at jay peak. The main reason I'm looking at the 189's is because i'm larger than average at 6'4 220 and wanted something longer. Thanks question_59196 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 15:12:40 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/FTS0027/4FRNT-Skis-Deadbolt-18-Ski-Binding.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_59128#question_59128 4FRNT Skis Deadbolt 18 Ski Binding<br /><br />So how are these any differnt that the tyrolia bindings they are modeled after? question_59128 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 10:21:52 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/FTS0022/4FRNT-Skis-VCT-Alpine-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_53662#question_53662 4FRNT Skis VCT Alpine Ski<br /><br />hey willie i know i said that that was my last qestion but i have a few last clarifying question. the VCT 182cm will rip on groomer, crud etc. right? and they are a good all mountain ski right? i know i'm just second guessing myself but i'm done after this no matter what, which would you mark as the better all mountain free ride ski, the prophet or the VCT? In your opinion. And I know you said 182cm but just to make sure, 182cm for the VCT right?<br /><br />-thanx again my last one i promise. yeah i've been checkin up on where i ski at crystal mountain and there seems to be about 25 inches at the summit. not alot but hey its better then nothing. looks like it might be a slow winter up here :( question_53662 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 16:19:44 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/FTS0022/4FRNT-Skis-VCT-Alpine-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_53606#question_53606 4FRNT Skis VCT Alpine Ski<br /><br />-willie<br /><br />thank you so much for all your help i would be so lost with out it. thanks again<br /><br />-henry question_53606 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:45:42 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/FTS0022/4FRNT-Skis-VCT-Alpine-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_53458#question_53458 4FRNT Skis VCT Alpine Ski<br /><br />-willie<br />last questions. first by damp you mean what? and will the 182cm VCT do as well on groomers/crud and at high speeds as the 189? but i take it both sizes will perform better on groomers/crud then a pair of 160 public enemies right (they chattered like crazy)? on my old public enemies and im not saying i did this alot but if i was feeling extra brave and found a landing with good amount of pow (cuz about 50% of the time i ate shit) i would ofton be tempted to throw down a back flip or something. wondering how much the extra weight (especially the VCT and its stiffer flex) is gona affect my ability do stuff like that and spins like a 360 or 540. which reminds me if im not mistaken the VCT isnt a full twintip, how much will that along with its more plank like shape affect riding landing witch? also was thinking of the marker jester for the helix, think it would be a good binding for the VCT? also what do you know about 4frnt bindings? question_53458 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 22:04:20 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/FTS0022/4FRNT-Skis-VCT-Alpine-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_53232#question_53232 4FRNT Skis VCT Alpine Ski<br /><br />Hi again willie. it seems like evry time you answer a question of mine it gives me another. so i was wondering if you could quickly tell me which ski (helix of VCT) performes better on groomers, crud, and ice? which is better in pow and between trees and which is more of a free ride ski? also wondering which one is lighter and wondering which is the softest? question_53232 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 14:59:50 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/FTS0022/4FRNT-Skis-VCT-Alpine-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_53106#question_53106 4FRNT Skis VCT Alpine Ski<br /><br />-for willie<br /><br />I believe I have finally narrowed it down. The prophet 100 and scott p4 are both out. I've been checkin VCT and i'm liking what i see. both it and the liberty helix seem more like freestyle skis. I think I've got the helix down. It's light, poppie, great in pow and you can bring it in the trees. But it also handles well on groomers, crude etc. and high speeds. So I'm wondering again how the VCT stands next to helix. it seems like a slightly lighter ski and how it is as an all mountain ski and weather it can be a quiver of one like the helix? Also curious how boht handle park and clifs? O and i was looking at the salomon gun and do you think u could compare it to the skis above. looks like its a greate off piste pow ski. wondering how it does on groomers, crud etc. and in park. i knoe this is alot of questions so whatever you get to i really apprecitae.<br /> <br />-sorry if im getting on your nerves w/all these ? question_53106 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 01:27:02 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/FTS0021/4FRNT-Skis-MSP-Alpine-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_53070#question_53070 4FRNT Skis MSP Alpine Ski<br /><br />I'm an advanced-intermediat<wbr />e skier (fine on blues, blacks aren't as pretty). 5'11 and 150 lbs.
