What size of Rapid transits should I go with being a strong agresive tele at 5&#39;8&quot; 165lbs. The salesman says to go with the 171 but I have never skied on that short of a board and am concerned it may not be enough ski. question_137201 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:42:48 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-SYSTEM-S7-Pro-Mancini-Ski/ROS0587M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_136807#question_136807 Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski<br /><br />With the one tele mount point, can these be mounted with a downhill binding?<br /><br />(I ask because I like these graphics better) question_136807 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:20:43 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-Coomback-Ski/K2S0670M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_136219#question_136219 K2 Coomback Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m looking to retire my old long skis from the 90&#39;s and look into the AT option. Any suggestions on what I may look for. I have been skiing since the 70&#39;s. Like to ski steep and fast. Not a kid anymore but in good shape. question_136219 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:13:23 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-Coomback-Ski/K2S0670M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135914#question_135914 K2 Coomback Ski<br /><br />What length coomback would be best for a 5&#39;-10&quot; 175# intermediate to expert back country skier? question_135914 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:15:56 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Voile-Insane-Ski/VOL0072M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135861#question_135861 Voile Insane Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m not sure what size i&#39;d need. I&#39;ve been learning to ski the past couple seasons (i&#39;m a snowboarder of about 15 years) and have a pair of G3 Ticket skis right now. They work pretty good on groomer and in a little powder, but i don&#39;t feel like they float enough.<br /><br />These are a bunch wider but i&#39;m not sure how long i should get. I&#39;m 6&#39;0&quot; and 210 lbs. I ride wide boards and like a 158-164. question_135861 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:23:43 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-SYSTEM-S7-Pro-Mancini-Ski/ROS0587M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135789#question_135789 Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski<br /><br />Is there any real difference between the Rossignol S7 Pro Model Mancini Ski and the S7 Barras Ski besides the art on the top plate? question_135789 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:01:13 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Ski-Trab-DUO-Free-Rando-Touring-Ski/SKR0002M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135579#question_135579 Ski Trab DUO Free Rando Touring Ski<br /><br />Will these do good in resorts?? question_135579 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 23:20:23 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-Coomback-Ski/K2S0670M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135421#question_135421 K2 Coomback Ski<br /><br />Anyone know how the rocker on the Coomback compares to lat year&#39;s Anti-Piste? Some say it&#39;s the same, others say it&#39;s different.... question_135421 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:57:41 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BLD0452/Black-Diamond-Verdict-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135393#question_135393 Black Diamond Verdict Ski<br /><br />So I have been riding some BD Havocs for the past few years with some Garmont Megarides. Looking to step up to a fatter ski. Will the Megarides be stiff enough to ski the Verdicts? Or would the Verdicts be skiing me? question_135393 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:03:09 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BLD0451/Black-Diamond-Zealot-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135214#question_135214 Black Diamond Zealot Ski<br /><br />Hi! So I have this problem of being too short for equipment I want to use as is the case with the Zealots - why doesn&#39;t BD make them in a 172?! Anyway - is the Justice 175 a good 2nd choice to the Zealots? I&#39;m looking for a one-ski-quiver tele ski (i&#39;m in SLC). I am an ex alpine racer so i like to ski fast and steep, but also I like making turns. The 175 will definitely still be a little long for me, but do you have any other suggestions for a good touring/Alta ski? (I&#39;ll probably mount them with BD 01s or hammerhead bindings). Thanks!! question_135214 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:50:59 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/ATO0257/Atomic-Janak-Telemark-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135110#question_135110 Atomic Janak Telemark Ski<br /><br />Dont telemark skis use grip wax like cross country or nordic skis? Or do you have to use skins every time? question_135110 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:41:36 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-SYSTEM-S7-Pro-Mancini-Ski/ROS0587M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134528#question_134528 Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski<br /><br />I was thinking of getting the System S7 , but can&#39;t decide on size. I am 5&#39;7&quot; and 150lbs. A solid telemark skier that can ski all terrain. Currently I ride the Sickbirds in 178 as my everyday ski. Should I get the 176 Systems or 188. I know wit the rocker it will ski much shorter. I am worried that the 176 will ski way to short. Thoughts question_134528 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:00:34 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Justice-Ski/BLD0481M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134491#question_134491 Black Diamond Justice Ski<br /><br />I have another dreaded sizing question...<br /><br />I am 5&#39; 10&quot; and 145 lbs and typically use skis in the 170-180 range, what size do you think would work best for me? Right now I am leaning towards the 175s because this will be a touring setup (dynafits) and I typically don&#39;t ski that aggressively. However, after looking at the actual running lengths of the ski at bd&#39;s website it would seem that I could bump it up to the 185 length and have about the same running length as a 170 traditional ski.<br /><br />Any thoughts? question_134491 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:11:42 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-SYSTEM-S7-Pro-Mancini-Ski/ROS0587M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134463#question_134463 Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski<br /><br />Looking at getting either the s7 or s6, but with the technology what size which one handles the groomers better, I am 6&#39;4&quot; 225lbs. question_134463 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:05:37 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/G3-Zenoxide-Fat-Ski/GGG0115M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134378#question_134378 G3 Zenoxide Fat Ski<br /><br />If this ski is the same footprint as the el hombre and is one pound lighter why would someone buy the el hombre? I&#39;m trying to choose between the two and want to make sure I&#39;m not missing something. question_134378 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:12:47 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-SYSTEM-S7-Pro-Mancini-Ski/ROS0587M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134319#question_134319 Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski<br /><br />If the S7 Barras and the S7 Mancini are the same ski, why does Rossi list the S7 Barras as having more technological features than the Mancini on their website? question_134319 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:08:19 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BLD0451/Black-Diamond-Zealot-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_134036#question_134036 Black Diamond Zealot Ski<br /><br />Anyone have an idea how the Zealot compares to a RC 112? Coming from 187 XXL&#39;s. question_134036 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:10:07 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-SYSTEM-S7-Pro-Mancini-Ski/ROS0587M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133707#question_133707 Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m 6&#39;4 and 165 pounds. I ski the Ravens in the backcountry and I felt quite a bit that I was gonna go over the handlebars. I wanted to get the S7 for the versitility, butI hear that the 188&#39;s ski pretty short, and I&#39;m concerned that they might even be too short. Please let me know what you think about the length. question_133707 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:34:27 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BLD0453/Black-Diamond-Kilowatt-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132983#question_132983 Black Diamond Kilowatt Ski<br /><br />I&#39;m looking at buying these as my goto skis for about 90% Resort / 10% Sidecountry ... I would mount these with Marker Baron ... I&#39;m an intermediate skier 5&#39; 9&quot; and 150lbs... I was wondering if I should go with a 165 or 175? It will be skied in Continental snowpack. Is it a good choice? any other suggestion ? Maybe something like a BD Havoc (165/175) or G3 Spitfire (170) might be better suited ?... Thanks !!!! question_132983 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 13:06:31 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Justice-Ski/BLD0481M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_132890#question_132890 Black Diamond Justice Ski<br /><br />Write your question here...anyone have an opinion on whether a 175cm Justice would work ok w/a 135# aggressive backcountry skier or whether they are a little too long....thanks! question_132890 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:24:16 GMT
