I would like to be able to hit the Colorado backcountry as well as groomers. I am an intermediate-advanced skier and am 5&#39;10&quot;, 140 lbs.<br /><br />Is this a good ski for me and if so, what size?<br /><br />I have also looked at the Coombacks... but any suggestions are welcome! question_275578 Sun, 06 May 2012 22:09:00 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/g3-alpinist-elle-climbing-skins-womens?CMP_ID=QRSS_274216#question_274216 G3 Alpinist elle Climbing Skins - Women's<br /><br />Will the x-short size work on ski length 164.

Bachelor A LOT, plus various other PNW mountains. Frankly, with a FT job and two boys, I don&#39;t get the chance to ski the sidecountry as much as I used to, but try to get away with as much as I can inbounds. Looking for a ski to bridge the gap betweem the front and the side. Basically looking for the elusive one-ski quiver, or as close to it as I can get. Am 5&#39; 11&quot;, 175 lbs., aggressive/advanced skier who would ski pow all day if I could, next trees, but given location and life station need something that can also plow through the usual chopped-up Cascade Cement on the front. Any thoughts on the whether the SideStash will fit bill? Also considering the Vokl Mantra, Blilzzard Cochise and Salomon Twenty Twelve. Could be convinced to go a different direction though. question_274138 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:48:00 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/black-diamond-starlet-ski-womens?CMP_ID=QRSS_273749#question_273749 Black Diamond Starlet Ski - Women's<br /><br />I am 5&#39;5&quot; 135 lbs. and not sure what size ski to get. 156 or 166? I am leaning toward the the 166 since I will be carring enough weight to put me firmly in this weight category, but also don&#39;t want to get stuck with too much ski. I am an intermediate skiier looking to spend more time in the backcountry as I get older and wiser. I am not used to skiing on wide skiis so I am nervous about taking the jump. Right now I am skiing Dynstar158s that are 66 under foot or I have old Tuas 168s that are 70 under foot. question_273749 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 23:54:04 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/g3-tonic-ski?CMP_ID=QRSS_273599#question_273599 G3 Tonic Ski<br /><br />If you had a choice between the G3 Tonic and the Zen Oxide for an all round touring ski in the Rockies, which one would you choose? question_273599 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:18:49 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/black-diamond-expedition-ski-pole?CMP_ID=QRSS_273574#question_273574 Black Diamond Expedition Ski Pole<br /><br />I just ordered these and cant wait!!

I&#39;m 5&#39;2&quot;, 100 lbs, and I ski everything in all conditions. I am looking for skis that would be ideal for both backcountry touring and ski mountaineering purposes, so light is important, but so is control, especially since conditions can sometimes be unpredictable. I typically ski ~160cm and I heard these ski short, so I was considering the 166cm. Should I go shorter? Will there be stability/control issues in anything short of perfect pow? Any advice or feedback would be appreciated! question_273389 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:58:14 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/black-diamond-starlet-ski-womens?CMP_ID=QRSS_273201#question_273201 Black Diamond Starlet Ski - Women's<br /><br />I am an experienced alpine skier keen to telemark.
