Some weeks you cruise the resort and other weeks you take your planks into the backcountry for long tours, so you’d like a mid-fat ride that’s stable for the downs and lightweight for the ups. Go for the G3 Saint Ski.

  • Paolownia wood for a snappy, lightweight core
  • Semi-cap construction at tip and tail for torsional rigidity
  • Sidewall construction underfoot for a smooth, solid ride and increased edge control
  • Multi-axial fiberglass sandwich construction puts two layers of glass above the core and two layers below the core to boost longitudinal and lateral rigidity on gnarly descents
  • Same footprint as G3’s classic Reverend

Bottom Line: Lighten your load.

Anyone know if the 09/10 model Saint has a tail notch for skins?

Anyone know if the 09/10 model Saint has a tail notch for skins? Both the 08 & 10/11 models look like they do, but can't tell if the 09/10 does or if the graphic just got cut off on the bottom...

I am a 20+ yr east coast alpine skier and I am looking to crossover

I am a 20+ yr east coast alpine skier and I am looking to crossover into telemark this yr. I am looking for a set up (boots and binding ideas too please) that I wont have to replace in two yrs as I improve. I am 6'-0" and 185lbs and have been skiing 186cm Dynastar Legends for the past few seasons, so I am ready for something a little shorter and less stiff.

This is significantly less stiff than the Legends, it is also much lighter. As a result, this may feel somewhat skittish underfoot, especially when the snow gets firm. At 185lbs, and having skied for 20some years, you will learn quickly, and may want to lean more on the beefier side of the tele ski set up, rather than go for a very soft beginner ski - because after your first season, you will really appreciate extra stiffness when skiing in bounds. You may consider the 174 BD Havoc, or the K2 Backslash, which comes in a 174 or a 181.

As for boots, I would recommend the Scarpa T2X, or the Garmont Ener G (its not nearly as stiff as they make it sound). An ideal binding would be a 22Designs hammerhead, because it has adjustable stiffness, so it can match your skiing abilities across a wide range.
