Is this to much ski or would he rock the mountain with it? question_137073 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:54:01 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Line-Elizabeth-Ski/LIN0066M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_137072#question_137072 Line Elizabeth Ski<br /><br />.My 16 year old son is 5&#39;&#39;8&quot; and 115 lbs and is looking at the Elizabeth or the Sir Francis Bacons both in 172 or ?

I&#39;m 5&#39;6&quot;, 148 lbs, very aggressive skier. My everyday ski now is a 176 Gotama and my powder ski is a 183 Katana. I&#39;m leaning towards the 173 Shogun as my new everyday ski. Opinion? thx. question_135997 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:51:14 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Atomic-Blog-Ski/ATO0335M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135957#question_135957 Atomic Blog Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m a 6&quot;, 154 pounds, advanced/expert/aggressive skier. Would the 185 be too long for me? Would it be hard to turn in trees and tight spots? question_135957 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:46:40 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Line-Prophet-100-Ski/LIN0036M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135682#question_135682 Line Prophet 100 Ski<br /><br />I am a 5&#39;9&quot; and 205 lb (athletic) level 7-8 skier (west) looking at the Line Prophet 100. I am thinking I should get the 179&#39;s. Any reason to think I should go longer? Also thinking about the Marker Jester Schizo binding. Is this a good pairing?

I&#39;m just about to pull the trigger and buy these awesome things. I heard their actual length is longer than stated, is it true? I am going for 188, but if I could choose I would have wanted a 185-186 cm. Do you think 181 would be a better choice? I also heard that the recommended mounting point is 2 cm in front of boot center, anyone who can comment this?<br />Thanks for helping! question_134916 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:37:54 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Lib-Technologies-NAS-Freeride-Recurve-Ski/LBT0060M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134687#question_134687 Lib Technologies NAS Freeride Recurve Ski<br /><br />will u be re-stocking the 188&#39;s? question_134687 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:33:51 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Volkl-Gotama-Ski/VKL0054M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134648#question_134648 Volkl Gotama Ski<br /><br />How will this ski with bumps and tight and quick turn situations?

I&#39;m pretty aggressive on groomers but I&#39;ve only been hitting heavy pow with narrow equipment thus far (2002 160cm 1080&#39;s) and it isn&#39;t cutting it. Would the 167 be a manageable size for me since this is a fairly light ski? Any other suggestions? question_134523 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:45:16 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Salomon-Shogun-Ski/SAL1803M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134429#question_134429 Salomon Shogun Ski<br /><br />I was planning on setting up for some apline touring with these skiis, which would be better? The Marker Duke, or the Baron? I&#39;m about 180lbs advanced skill level, can ai get away with the cheaoer Barons?
