Both the 87 and 97 look like ideal all purpose weapons but i dont want them to feel like a mythic rider. question_140243 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:11:16 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Salomon-Lord-Ski/SAL1409M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140242#question_140242 Salomon Lord Ski<br /><br />I currently ski on classic Salomon Pocket Rocket 175 length - love them to bits but they are getting old. Question: What length Lord should I go for? I am strong skiier 5&#39;10&quot; tall and weigh 187 pounds. I am thinking 177&#39;s - would 185&#39;s be too long? question_140242 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:10:13 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Mantra-Alpine-Ski/VKL0008M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_138876#question_138876 Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m a girl, ski mostly Colorado and Europe, just moved to the Aspen area. I own a pair of Auras and LOVE them to death, 170 or 173s (last year model). I am 5&#39;8 and weight about 135, strong girl. Ski everything (grew up in the Alps). What ski should I choose for thsi season amongst the following: Mantra 170, Payback 160, Shogun 173, Lady 169? My choice would probably be between the Mantra 170 and Lady 169, although they both sound a little short. Any suggestion? Thanks! question_138876 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:30:04 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Blizzard-Titan-Cronus-Ski/BLZ0030M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_138853#question_138853 Blizzard Titan Cronus Ski<br /><br />Do these come with bindings, like in the picture? question_138853 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:25:49 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Mantra-Alpine-Ski/VKL0008M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_138651#question_138651 Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski<br /><br />wondering how the Mantra would be for a 5&#39;9&quot;,120lb., 16 year old He skis at Squaw Valley--Headwall and KT,-22, also skiis out East --Virgil NY--Greek Peak, colder and icy. question_138651 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:48:49 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Mantra-Alpine-Ski/VKL0008M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_137806#question_137806 Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m a girl and I&#39;m moving away from race ski because lets face it, that part of my life is wayyyy over and no where near as much fun as the all mountain terrain Ive been skiing in the last 5 years. I&#39;m moving from fischer Slalom&#39;s and want to know if the Mantra&#39;s would be a good fit, I&#39;ve heard awesome things but only from my guy friends. I&#39;d consider myself and advanced-expert skier whose stuck on the east coast so has to be prepared for the pa cked pow and ice we get. question_137806 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:44:15 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Mantra-Alpine-Ski/VKL0008M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_137293#question_137293 Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m a smaller dude, 5&#39;6&quot; 140lbs, so I&#39;ve leaned towards more forgiving skis in the past. Coming off of Pocket Rockets now, and consider either the Shogun or these Mantras. But my impression of Volkls is they&#39;ve been too stiff for me in the past. I ski fairly aggressively, everywhere except no bumps. Would these Mantras be a good fit, or too stiff? question_137293 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:14:18 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Dynastar-Legend-Mythic-Rider-Alpine-Ski/DYN0157M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_136751#question_136751 Dynastar Legend Mythic Rider Alpine Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m 5&#39;9&quot; and 150lbs, improving advanced intermediate skier and am looking at these for my everyday ski. 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.
