Pulled the rails right over and also pulled the screws right out. Never seen a failure like that. Older tornados but still?

He&#39;s 5&quot;10 or 11. He would mostly ride groomers on the east coast and sometimes out in Park City. He has been skiing for year, can turn and carve well, likes speed. Would these be good? question_135840 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:26:09 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Unlimited-AC30-Alpine-Ski-w-Motion-iPT-12.0-WR-Binding/VKL0037M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134588#question_134588 Volkl Unlimited AC30 Alpine Ski w/ Motion iPT 12.0 WR Binding<br /><br />I&#39;m a 49 yr. old 6&#39;3&quot; 220 lb. skiier, keeping up with my athletic 19 yr. old son when I ski, so I&#39;m fairly aggressive and pushing the edge when I ski. I love to ski the groomers fast, because that&#39;s usually what&#39;s there, but enjoy powder when I get it. I Ski Summit county CO mostly, enjoy A-BAsin alot. I am currently skiing K2 Mod-X Pro skis, in 195 cm length. These skis have a 70 cm waist. My questions are: 1. Why have skis become wider? 2. What would I gain by going to a current shorter, fatter ski, such as the Voikl AC 30 (80 cm waist) in a 185 cm length, over my aging K2s. question_134588 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:55:03 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-Apache-Interceptor-Alpine-Ski-w-M2-11.0-TC-Binding/K2S0677M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133548#question_133548 K2 Apache Interceptor Alpine Ski w/M2 11.0 TC Binding<br /><br />Does it include a binding, or just a bounding mount?

I am living and skiing in Switzerland for the last two years and have been using salomon o8 street racers which are fine on groomed piste but....ski mostly red runs and would like a ski a little more adaptable as conditions change and explore a bit of off piste areas.... question_133433 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 06:34:15 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/VKL0035/Volkl-The-Grizzly-Alpine-Ski-w-Motion-iPT-Wide-Ride-14.0-Binding.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132781#question_132781 Volkl The Grizzly Alpine Ski w/ Motion iPT Wide Ride 14.0 Binding<br /><br />I&#39;m 5&#39;8&quot; , 150 lb, male. I ski groomers and sometimes deeper powder. I&#39;ve skied a long time but not really expert. Want to have good turning control. Would the Grizzly in 163 be a good choice for me or do I need 170?

I have demoed the 08 model which is very light which I like. The 09 models now have titanium in them which I have been told are heavier by my local rep. Does anyone know exactly how much heavier? I would actually like to know the actual weights of the skis with bindings. Thanks to the one who can answer this question question_96626 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:42:47 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/VKL0036/Volkl-Unlimited-AC50-Alpine-Ski-w-Motion-iPT-Wide-Ride-14.0-Binding.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_95712#question_95712 Volkl Unlimited AC50 Alpine Ski w/ Motion iPT Wide Ride 14.0 Binding<br /><br />How do these compare to the Mantra? I just got back from two days at Keystone. I demoed a pair of Mantra 184&#39;s. Snow was hard with ice. The Mantras were fast (hit 55.6 MPH on the GPS :)) on the steep groomers but tended to skid and slide a bit. The rental boots were only a 50 stiffness which probably contributed alot to the lack of solid control. I want something that will hold a turn a little harder. I have been skiing for almost 40 years but this was my first time in nine years. (No excuse. I know.) I am 50, 6&#39;1&quot;, 225 lbs expert.
