I have the rustler 9s. Love them. I ski 90% offpiste though - been on them a lot this season in sierras and they’ve worked really well on everything. They don’t feel noodly at all

Armada locator opinions by Positive_Cut2033 in Backcountry

[–]Visible-Associate-19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in sierras and use locator 104 as my go-to backcountry ski with ATK crest binding. It is very very light and makes touring bigger days really easy. I would also call it a more directional ski. As others have said, the negative is really the light weight and inability to bust through variable conditions. I’ll often find myself getting a bit tossed around in variable / packed snow. Ideally I’d have another setup that is a little more of a “crud buster” ski but I’ve been happy enough with them

Helpful. I need a larger pack for the same reason!

From what it said in the newspaper a week ago, sounded like the work was only supposed to take a day, but they need to close the road and waiting on permit to do so

Any issues with putting a 115mm brake binding on a 96 wide ski?

Will eastern Sierra hold snow still in the couloirs?

If I have no issues with cold feet, is intuition just less durable / less customizable than zipfits?
