Armada AR6 Alpine Ski

March 22, 2009

Alright... 6-1 220lbs. I'm looking for a playful lively ski to jib on natural terrain features. I have a Line prophet 100 as my all mountain soft snow ski, so I'm looking for another ski, a little better on the groom than the 100 and easy to ski switch. I was thinking about the ar6 or the k2 extreme. What say you? Where should I mount them?

Fantastic binding

Salomon STH 16 Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 5 March 4, 2009

Great Binding for aggressive heavier skiers. They are burly and fairly lightweight when compared to other high DIN bindings from other manufacturers. Solid!

Line Sir Francis Bacon Alpine Ski

February 24, 2009

You might be to big for them, they measure out at about 179mm but you could mount them back a little and they might be ok, bacons are not as soft as people think, about the same as the obseth and just a tad softer then the blends, kind of midsoft. Motherships might be to stiff and heavy as a powder ski, how about 130's? they are fat and fun in powder and pretty quick in tree's or wait till next years bacon comes out, rumur is they will be rockered and availible in a longer length.I think if the Bacons come out next year in a high 186-190 ski, I'd be all over it. 130 sounds nice, but I ski primarily in the tahoe basin and rarely get up in bottomless days, not that there have been any of those this year, so I almost feel like a 130 would be overkill/not used much. I've already had a few e-mails into the RD guys at Line about coming out with a Prophet 115..... That would be great for guys my size...I also live in the tahoe area and it has been an odd year, 1 1/2 weeks ago I was floating my bacons in waist deep powder and just 2 days ago it was raining at 8000ft. They are calling for a foot of snow on thursday again, powder for breakfeast on friday, only in tahoe.Well, hopefully they'll be a little coverage on Thurs, because that's my day off, and I'm going up.... I'm just happy that most of the rocks finally got buried, although I was getting sniped periodically when I was up last Wed...

Bacon too soft for me? I'm 6-1 220lbs, looking for a more dedicated powder ski to go with my 100's. Still want it to handle on the groomers decent as well. Mothership maybe? Something with good float, but can be maneuvered in tight spaces. TIA

Flat out rips through everything. It's OK as a powder ski, but just annihilates crud, mank, groomers...

Line Prophet 100 Alpine Ski

January 25, 2009

The centerline should do you fine, but I agree with a back by 1cm if you want powder performance. But the centerline should be fine and if you are a good powder skier then diving should not be an issue. Hope that helped you.-- yeah thanks.. How far is the factory mount from the actual center of the ski? TIA

Line Prophet 100 Alpine Ski

January 24, 2009

Mounting question for line prophet 100's 186...... 6-1 215. Should I mount center line or 1cm back. I've heard chatter about tip dive for big guys on the center line. people indicating that 1cm back will do better in powder, but possibly lose quickness. Will they be fine on center line in powder for my size. Can't wait to mount them going with salomon sth 16. I'm a look/rossi binding guy, but couldn't pass up a scorching deal courtesy of backcountryoutlet.com!
