I'm super torn between http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Line-Pandora-Ski-Womens/LIN0107M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_141241#question_141241 Line Pandora Ski - Women's Alright, who's skied 'em? I'm super torn between these and the Kikus... I've been a Volkl girl thru and thru for years, but I'm not sure about the total rocker design of the Kiku this year. I've had both recommended to me, but I'm not going to be able to demo both before purchasing as no one in the Vail area will set up Kikus to demo. I had my mitts on the Pandoras the other day and I liked them, but they felt REALLY soft when I flexed them. I need a little insight.

I understand there will always be a performance compromise, but these boots (and more so the Banshee Pros) were recommended to me by a demo team friend, and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a similar decision, or had some insight as to whether or not these boots would be a suitable substitute to the race shack style for all mountain very advanced skiing. It's a difficult decision for me, because I need something this year that isn't going to beat me up so much without a serious loss in performance. Been out of the market for a while, so any advice would help (ps I'm a Lange man only). Thanks question_141094 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:56:58 GMT Hallo everybody, I want to try telemark skiing this year.

I have ordered the black diamond joule but i'm looking for a releasable binding, due to a knee injury . Do you have any suggestions? Would it be wise to consider a binding with no release mechanism? Is it possible to ship the product to Greece? question_141092 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:54:57 GMT 5'10" 180lbs thin & fit. +30 years skiing expert http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Marker-Baron-12-Ski-Binding/MRK0010M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_141082#question_141082 Marker Baron 12 Ski Binding 5'10" 180lbs thin & fit. +30 years skiing expert terrain fast. Ski mostly in the East.. 2-3x yearly out west. Thinking about putting the Baron's on a new pair of Mantras. Dalbello Krypton Pros with Intuition liners (lighest boot I ever owned!) Not sure how much I'll use the Randonee funciton... Maybe a couple-three times a year? Maybe not at all. I hear the Barons' are heavy. Is it worth the extra weight? In the past, I've sought to build lighter setups thinking some types of turns (jump) are easier/quicker in lighter gear.
