Bio:
I like to ski and climb on big mountains and fix on computers and stuff. I like powder and inclined mountain sides all coming together at once to create a powder turn. I consume copious amounts of beer and coffee.

Dynafit TLT Vertical FT Z12 Binding

One other thing to think about is the standard brake is not wide enough for the Drifter, you can try the wider size which might bend out to fit, but I am just going to use a Black Diamond ski leash.

Dynafit TLT Vertical FT Z12 Binding

I bought the Drifters this year and have owned Dynafits for 4 years. I love my Dynafits they are super light and boom-prof. I got my Dynafits mounted on my Drifters and consider it the perfect backcountry set up for me. As far as boots, yeah get something stiffer if you are going to ski on the hard-stuff, but if you only go out on the powder I don't think you need super-stiff boots.

Voile Drifter Hybrid Rocker Ski
December 12, 2009
If you are looking for a powder ski and don't mind the extra pound or two then those skis would be great. If you are looking for a touring/backcountry ski, then two pounds makes a big difference on the up. I bought these drifters after spending a long time looking for an all-backcountry ski that will kill in the powder. The short list consisted of Coombacks, Black Diamond Justices, and the Drifter. I noticed that the Drifter was stiffer and lighter then both of those other skis. The Justices seemed too soft for me. I have only taken these out once so far this year (pre-season Alta hike on hardpack) and really like them. They were super responsive and easy to ski, I imagine they will kill in the powder too judging by how fat they are. The ARG is probably better in the powder so go for that if you are looking for a powder-only ski, but I like a ski I can ski anything on. I mounted these with some Dynafit Bindings, now I just have to try to find a brake that will fit.
