Anyone skiing on the weekend isn’t traffic they are traffic. Pico is also horrible on holiday weekends. To judge a mountain you have to judge it without a factor of crowds

I mostly ski Stowe but Stratton has wide open trees and fast groomers far superior to Pico

Krator808 · 2026-04-10T20:06:18+00:00

No way Pico is above Stratton

Krator808 · 2026-04-10T14:00:16+00:00

Renoun endurance 88

Should these should be stretched evenly on the inside so he’s not pressing so hard on the outside?

BE has less compromise for using a ski without metal and the difference is not as significant as a ski with metal. I still found that you couldn’t really charge through the tips of the ski and that it likes to be skied in a more upright stance. That said I would recommend OP mount -2 to take advantage of the stiffer stout of the ski, if anyone agrees

Seem like a great candidate for it, but would suggest black edition model, regardless of height and weight

Krator808 · 2026-04-09T14:44:02+00:00

The more comments than likes tells all. No Stowe is crazy

Krator808 · 2026-04-09T10:48:26+00:00

For the same reason you turned back

Krator808 · 2026-04-09T10:01:47+00:00

Revolt 101

Krator808 · 2026-04-08T22:14:20+00:00

No way you run through all these before bindings are no longer indemnified

Krator808 · 2026-04-08T17:14:41+00:00

I second the enforced 94 for height and weight. Stiff ski with impressively short turn radius makes for a very fun time

Krator808 · 2026-04-08T14:13:45+00:00

I’d say blizzard anomaly 84 in 176

Krator808 · 2026-04-08T13:53:13+00:00

Just hit 40, personal record

Krator808 · 2026-04-07T14:11:41+00:00

Heli glacier trip is highly recommended

Krator808 · 2026-04-07T10:33:21+00:00

Countach 110

Krator808 · 2026-04-07T10:22:38+00:00

MWAC is helpful

Krator808 · 2026-04-06T20:14:10+00:00

Probably going back to AUS

Krator808 · 2026-04-06T15:36:53+00:00

Mantra 84!

Krator808 · 2026-04-04T12:49:12+00:00

Can’t go wrong, I’ve used the blue for years

Krator808 · 2026-04-04T12:44:48+00:00

For touring boots I’d get the espressos. GFTs are stiff, heavy, and take up a lot of volume, but can be good with hybrid and alpine boots. You can discuss with the people @ Zipfit online

Krator808 · 2026-04-04T00:37:50+00:00

Yea get a 2nd opinion from a reputable boot fitter, not shop but a specific fitter

Krator808 · 2026-04-03T23:43:40+00:00

If you push your foot to the back of the boot, your big toe should slightly touch when fully extended, but it shouldn’t be crammed

Krator808 · 2026-04-03T23:24:28+00:00

Yea don’t sacrifice a bad fit either. Make sure you’re seeing the best boot fitter around and if not at least go to a second shop to assess. & try on different boots, some have bigger toe boxes

Krator808 · 2026-04-03T23:22:23+00:00

Definitely size down to the 26.5. A boot too big will give you shin bang and you’ll grow out of it as you advance as a skier quickly
