Volkl Aura Ski - Women's
February 24, 2009
I weigh the same and just demoed these skis in 156 on both tele & alpine. I loved them skiing bumps. I think that length would be fun in trees as well. Powder I do wonder if longer might be better. Everyone I talk to says that length is good for the ~130 pounder. They are fat, so maybe that would add flotation to make up for the shorter length?

Black Diamond Stiletto Telemark Ski Boot - Women's
February 24, 2009
FWIW, I tried on the Stiletto in a 24 at my local shop. I wear a size 8 street shoe as well. In Scarpa I wear a 24. The Stiletto in 24 was too small for -- but it was too small on the instep, not in terms of length that I recall. The liner just really pushed down on the top of my foot. Its possible I just have the wrong shape of foot for these boots. I'm thinking of trying on a 24.5 (they only had it in 24). The plastic shell is the same for both of those sizes, and it was a good length for my foot. So I'd try a 24.5 if I were you...If you have a small volume instep try the 24.

CAMP USA XLP 290 Evolution Pack
February 14, 2009
Which way does it carry skis = A Frame, straight up & down or sideways/diagonal? Also are there other tiny packs to carry skis with? I've heard them called ski thongs.

The North Face Arnuva 100 TR GTX Trail Running Shoe - Men's
June 11, 2008
At the NF site, they mention that they offer "neutral guidance for "mild pronators."Also they have medial posting which generally offers pronation support.So I'd guess stability.

Smith Holt Helmet
April 7, 2008
I tried it with Phenom and they fit perfect, I imagine other Smith goggles will work well with this helmet. As long as they are kinda flat across the top they should fit very well. My favorite (Oakley) goggles don't fit as well as the Smiths I have found.
