K2 Apache Coomba Alpine Ski
March 11, 2009
this price is JUST THE SKIS.-this guy sounds like all the Europeans that try and barter with me on eBay. THIS IS A STORE. THE ITEM PICTURED IS WHAT YOU GET. READ THE DESCRIPTION. What made you assume it comes with bindings? In the description it even says "bindings included? - NO"

Black Diamond Verdict Ski
March 7, 2009
I'm questioning my choice of the Salomon Lord for a Slackcountry ski. I have it set up with Baron's, and I find that it doesn't float enough and wants to carve instead of surf like my Rockers. Will the Verdict be better for powder while still retaining some hard snow performance? Right now, the Lord's are almost TOO good on the groomers, but not good enough in pow. I want something with less sidecut and less camber, but still capable of carving a turn. Is this ski I'm searching for the Verdict? Or should I be looking for something like a Line Prophet 100, Scott P4, or something else?I am 200lbs, 6' tall and would be using Baron's on the new skis. Right now I use alpine boots with my Baron's, but I'm in the market for some AT boots because skinning on flat terrain with alpine boots is a huge PITA (going uphill is fine).Help?

Voile Telepro Shovel
January 26, 2009
The orange has holes in the blade so it can be used as a snow anchor.- so does the blue now, apparently>>>The orange is T6 aluminum, which is stronger, and makes the blade better suited for anchor use.

Tecnica Dragon 120 HiPerFit Boot - Men's
December 11, 2008
The Diablo Pro 130 is a bit narrower and lower in volume (you really notice this in the forefoot area). I compared both today, and found that the Diablo Pro felt like more of a performance race-on-ice boot, while the Agent felt more comfortable. The Diablo Pro fit was fatiguing/constricting to my foot, but the Agent was just snug enough. The Diablo Pro is significantly more stiff laterally, but forward flex is comparable (within similar flex ratings).

Zeal Detonator Polarized Photochromatic Goggle

The Link is slightly smaller, and is probably better suited to women (unless you're an atypically large woman).

Smith I/O Interchangeable Optics Spherical Series Goggles - Mirror Lens
December 3, 2008
They should. Just about any set of goggles fits with any helmet. - Dude, he asked about a specific helmet with a specific set of goggles. Giving a general answer won't help him. And no, not all goggles work with all helmets, and there's nothing more frustrating than finding out that you just wasted time and money to find out that your dream combo won't work.
