<description>Scott Santiago Mission Alpine Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I was wondering what the tail looks like on this bad boy. Is anyone skiing this switch?  It sounds like a front side killer but it has to ski backwards.</description>

<description>Rossignol Bandit B100-Quad Alpine Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x27;m a fairly advanced skier...except on powder.  OK, gotta learn that yet.  Moved to Co. recently and ski Summit Co.  This year I hope to hit 40 days +.  Enough dribble.  I want some sticks that I can use to cruise at high speed, hit bumps, play in the trees and try to keep with my knuckle dragging boarder buddy when the urge hits to find powder.  Recommendations?  More, Male, 185lbs, 5&#x27;10&#x22;, will ski from Nov - May. </description>

<description>Rossignol Bandit B100-Quad Alpine Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Who has ridden bandits? Im finally shopping for ski&#x27;s again - been 7 years on Atomic beta-ride, which I originally chose because they were light, and have looked after me through the revolution despite being old school. But I do want more grunt, more width for pow....and something that will hold better on groomies. anyone?</description>

I wonder if this ski at 183cm would keep me above the snow?  I mainly hit bowls and long speedy trails.  Any advice?  Thanks, Chris</description>

<description>Nordica Ignition Alpine Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I ski in the east, and im lookin for a park, backcountry, and groomer ski that can take anything I throw at it. Im skiing on some 07 K2 fujatives (152), and they&#x27;re a great ski, but I want a little wider ski so I can take on all the pow that gets dumped up east, but still have a ski that can stomp all my landings in the park. Should I look at the 162 model of these?</description>

<description>&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I ski alot of groomers and alot of park during the spring and mid winter. But for the rest of the year im in the woods and out of bounds. Ive been looking for a fatter ski than my K2 fujatives and one that owns the park, groomers, and the woods all year. Should I consider getting these?</description>

<description>Salomon Gun Alpine Ski&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;hey I just got a pair of the &#x27;08 guns and I can&#x27;t decide to mount my bindings at the classic stance or the progressive stance.  does mounting the bindings a little farther back make it way harder to do spins or is it insignificant?  I&#x27;d appreciate any comments.</description>

<description>&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I am from Australia but have been skiing in Japan lately which is full of waist deep powder which I assume these skis would be great for. What would they be like on the groomed corn days when the top lifts are closed due to wind?</description>

<description>&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I am considering purchasing a pair of M Rocks and would appreciate input on sizing. I am 6&#x27;-0&#x22;, 185 lbs, an advanced skier living in Washington State and skiing primarily in the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. I will be using these almost exclusively for backcountry skiing in mixed terrain (open trees, bowls, steeper chutes and faces). Most runs are 500 to 1000 VF. I would mount them with Dynafits and use Garmont Megaride boots. So, the question is, which length would you recommend, 177 or 184 cm?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Thanks, </description>
