Do you recommend the 172 or 178? I am leaning towards the 178 for the length and stability, but want to make sure that the length difference isn&#39;t going to make bumps, etc too much to handle. Thanks. question_136751 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:35:10 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-S5-Jago-Ski/ROS0391M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_136428#question_136428 Rossignol S5 Jago Ski<br /><br />Will the Rossignol FKS 180 XXL binding fit this ski? question_136428 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:05:04 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-Phantom-SC97-Ski/ROS0394M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135677#question_135677 Rossignol Phantom SC97 Ski<br /><br />Write your question here...what type of bindind should i put on them? i am used to a gs racing ski is this ski a good all mt. type ski ? also they are alot shorter than i am used to they are 178 im used to 193 + and so wide under ft. how well can they perform? i hope they will be great in all conditions and terrain or will the width of the ski make them clumsy? question_135677 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:55:47 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Mantra-Alpine-Ski/VKL0008M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134557#question_134557 Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski<br /><br />Any recommendations on boots and bindings for the mantras? 6&#39; 175lbs.

I&#39;m looking for some advice on some powder skis that will perform well in all-mountain situations. I curently have one pair of K2 Apache series skis and have narrowed the field down to K2 Coomba and either Volkl Mantra or the Katana. I&#39;ve never owned a twin-tip, and being 35 yo will probably not become an efficient arialist as I do not enjoy the ER.<br />Much Thanks. question_126772 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:44:41 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Line-Prophet-90-Ski/LIN0077M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125904#question_125904 Line Prophet 90 Ski<br /><br />What is the flex like on this ski? Is it similar to the K2 Extreme? I&#39;m looking for something with fairly soft flex like the Extreme, but something in the 90mm range underfoot. Let me know if you have any suggestions. question_125904 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:44:22 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Mantra-Alpine-Ski/VKL0008M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125263#question_125263 Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski<br /><br />Write your question here...I am 5&#39;11&quot;, weigh 170 lbs. and ski about 30 days a year in Colorado. I mix the front steep and bumps with the back side trees and any powder that I can find. Would you recommend this in 170 or 177 for me? Thanks question_125263 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 07:39:52 GMT
