Seems to be just about the same ski... (graphics aside) question_140174 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:21:09 GMT 1). I'm 6', 185 lbs - I ski everything well, but don't http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/K2-SideStash-Alpine-Ski/K2S0667M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140149#question_140149 K2 SideStash Alpine Ski 1). I'm 6', 185 lbs - I ski everything well, but don't do any jumping (bad knees). Would the Fritshi AT bindings work well on these? Afraid the Dukes will add too much weight uphill. 2). Have been happy on K2 Apache Chiefs (174cm) for 2 seasons, they're quite "turny" for a 98 underfoot ski. Should I get 174cm or the 181cm Sidestash? Does the early rise really make the ski - ski shorter? Or should I stick with 174cm since the Sidestash is a wider ski? 3). Are the K2 skins of a good quality/fit, or will BD skins work just as well. question_140149 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:09:53 GMT How bulky is this item? realistically...is it something that http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Demon-Snow-Flex-Force-Pro-High-Armor/DEM0059M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140134#question_140134 Demon Snow Flex Force Pro High Armor How bulky is this item? realistically...is it something that wont hinder your movement at all and you'll forget its there?

Any thoughts on comparison of those two skis? Thanks. question_139457 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:11:26 GMT Seems like I could go either way WRT size: s/m or m/l. Anybody http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Agent-with-Avalung-Winter-Pack-1098-1220cu-in/BLD0475M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139445#question_139445 Black Diamond Agent with Avalung Winter Pack - 1098-1220cu in Seems like I could go either way WRT size: s/m or m/l. Anybody out there actually had a chance to try both on? I'm 5'10, 180#, currently wear a dakine heli pro pack, though I NEVER pack the thing full, and I am just wondering whether the m/l will be necessary. Another factor is that I will be frequently carrying a BD shovel & avy gear with this pack when touring, and if it's a pain to cram the shovel + avy gear in the s/m, I'd just go with the m/l....Lastly, if I am wearing this pack & hiking in bounds, I'll be carrying Armada JJs or Dynastar Huge Troubles on the pack. I assume the pack can handle skis this size, but will that factor into the s/m vs. m/l question? Thanks for the thoughts. question_139445 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:39:00 GMT
