Rossignol S7 Caballero Alpine Ski
January 7, 2009
Definitely mount them up at +3cm forward. Sage himself said that's what works good. As for your binding, you should be looking into the Marker Jester, or the Marker Griffin. They are the same binding made with different materials and different DIN settings. You could choose which one would be best for you based on your weight. Everyone is mounting these on their wider skis and loves them. I have a pair of Jesters, and I love them too. As for the ski feeling shorter with the rockered platform, you should just stick with a ski pretty close to your usual ski length. They do carve groomers like a shorter ski, but you are still throwing around the weight of a long ski. When you get in the soft snow, you will be using the entire length of the ski, and you won't want a ski much longer than you usually ski because it will be hard to throw around. this guy is whack don't listen to him he doesnt know a thing besides bindings. i am currently skiing on a pair of the rossignol steezes in a 185 and have no trouble spinning them floating them in powder or carving up the groomers and im 5' 10'' and wiegh the same as you go with the 188 you wont regret it especially if you like skiing fast and dropping cliffs the extra length will make it alot nicer remember rossi skis ski short and their rockered so it'll be even shorter. if you mount them as far forward as you planned you will be able to spin them easy
