Freeride/Freestyle equipment?
Hi!
Anybody have an advice on which twin tipped skis, bindings, and boots for freeride (deep snow)? And a similar advice for twin tipped allround skis for freeride/freestyle? And what length would you recommend? If it comes down to a choice between speed vs. maneuverability, I'd prefer the latter. I'm 6',1'' (186 cm), 220 lbs (100 kg), and I'm comfortable with black and double diamond trails. Any thoughts is greatly appreciated! -- Tor, Bergen, Norway We are what we think.

I went down from 191s that were shaped (way too big for me) and now I have soooo much more control. For deeper snow you probably want the wider skis like the Seth Pistol or the Pocket Rocket. They're good pretty much everywhere on the mountain I'd think. And what length would you recommend? If it comes down to a choice between speed vs. maneuverability, I'd prefer the latter.

A little, I have Line 1260s that I got 3 years ago online. I'm 5'7" and
the skis are 164s. I went down from 191s that were shaped (way too big for me) and now I have soooo much more control. Couldn't find a dealer for Line skis in Norway, so I suppose they are out of the question... For deeper snow you probably want the wider skis like the Seth Pistol or the Pocket Rocket. They're good pretty much everywhere on the mountain I'd think. Yep, I guess you're right. Heard a lot of good things about the Seth Pistol. I'm inclined towards that one. And what length would you recommend? If it comes down to a choice between speed vs. maneuverability, I'd prefer the latter. I'm 6',1'' (186 cm), 220 lbs (100 kg), and I'm comfortable with black and double diamond trails. Probably in the mid-170s. That seems like a very sensible advice, and is actually what Head tells me on their homepage. Sorry I don't know much about boots and bindings. Mike Thank you for help. -- Tor We are what we think.
