Check out the Rossignol Axial 2 Freeride 200 XXL, Rossignol Axial 2 Freeride 150 Wide bindings or the equivalent Look and Dynastar bindings.

Try the Rossignol Axial2 120 Pro Wide Ski Binding it's basically the same binding as this but with a lifter plate.

These are different than the Hellbents and EP Pros. These skis do not have reverse camber to them. They are a flat ski with a longer contact surface than a reverse camber ski. And the tips and tails rise earlier than a traditional ski but do not raise off the ground nearly as much as the ep pros or hellbents. These are also a very stiff ski compaired to the soft flex patterns of the hellbents and ep pros.

The recommended binding for this ski would be the Marker Jester it can handle the abuse but if you want a total bomb proof binding that is mostly metal check out the Rossignol Freeride 150 or 200. The freeride 150 comes with a 100mm brake and the 200 comes with a 120mm brake so I you buy the Freeride 200 you would have to buy the correct size brake to go on this ski.

Any of the Rossignol, Dynastar or Look lifter bindings are good and I believe will extend the warranty of these skis from 1 year to 2 years. Another binding to check out would be the Marker Griffon or Jester.

The Line Sir Francis Bacons are a little softer and more playful than the Volkl Gotamas. The Gotamas are a very stiff ski. You should demo some skis to find out what type of flex you like. If you are light you might find you like a ski with a softer flex.

If you are talking about the 2007 Rossignol Scratch FS WRS then yes. It's the same ski no changes have been made.

I love the S5 it is a super durable lively ski that rips in all places, you will be stoked on the groomers, rip in the pow, and will slay the park, they have great swing weight so they dont feel sluggish when spinningThe S5 and the Bridge are going to be a little better for freestyle because they are lighter than the line prophets. The line prophets have a metal core making them a little heavier. I own a pair of S5's and loved them until I clipped a rock just below the surface on a groomer and blew out the side wall (so they may not be the most durable ski on the market). I have skied the bridges and loved them too. I prefer the S5 over the bridge in the park because it has a medium flex making it a little more forgiving on landings; but the bridge out performs the S5 in the all mountain category because of its very stiff flex.

The best 50/50 ski would be the Volkl Bridge and for someone your size I would recommend the 185cm. If you want something a little more narrow and shorter check out the K2 extreme 179cm. Also, I would recommend avoiding foam core skis for someone your size; I'm 6'3" 185lbs and I blew out a pair of Salomon skis similar to these in one season.

The Dukes/Barons and Jester/Griffons are designed for a minimum ski width of 76mm.

The best choice bindings for this ski would be the Marker Jester or Griffon with a 132mm brake, sold separately, (this is the binding K2 suggests) or the Rossignol Axial2 Freeride 200 wide XXL (120 mm brake). The Rossignol SAS2 150 Wide is also a good choice but you would have to purchase a 120mm brake separately to fit your skis. You could also buy a the Rossignol Axial2 140 Ti Pro XXL (even though it says the brake is 140mm I'm pretty sure it's only 120mm but check with a Backcountry gear expert and they may be able to tell you for sure). The Rossignol Axial2 140 Ti Pro XXL is basically the same as the Look PX 12 Ti Jib Wide binding but with a higher din or 14 and it comes with a wider brake that will come close to fitting over the waist of a pair of Hellbents if not you can make up the rest by bending the brakes out a little bit. I ride a pair of Line EP Pros mounted with Marker Jesters.

Although I don't doubt you can handle this ski, 185cm or 195cm might be over kill for someone your size. Check out the Volkl Gotama and 4FRNT VCT. These skis are some of the stiffest choices in the freeride ski category. Both skis are awesome and have been some of the best reviewed skis over the past few years. Plus you will have more size options to best fit your needs. You might also check out the Volkl Bridge it's probably the best all-mountain ski available.

Even if they don't match up, just take them to your local shop, and they can mount them, and fill in the holes from the old ones. No big deal, and fairly cheap. As for the weight... HEAVY!6 of the 8 holes will match between the rossignol axial2 and this binding. That means you are adding 2 new holes to each ski and will need to plug two holes. The difference is in the back two screws on the heal piece.

I had a pair of these mounted to my steezes last year until I shorted a jump and snapped the toe piece off. I replaced them with the axial freeride 150s and have been very happy. Both are good bindings the freeride 150s are bomb proof metal housing while these bindings are plastic. If you want a slightly lighter binding buy these but if you want a better binding definately buy the freeride 150s.

The brakes that fit on Rossignol/Dynastar/Look bindings come in 80mm, 100mm, 120mm. The Rossignol Axial2 Freeride 200 Wide XXL Ski Binding has a brake width of 120mm. The XXL is referring to the brake width. Although the specs on this binding say the brake width is 100mm I would suggest talking to a gear expert at backcountry because if this an XXL binding the brake width should be 120mm. This is also the recommended binding for a ski with a 109mm waist which is also an indicator that the brake width is 120mm instead of 100mm.

Buy the Look PX 12 Lifter WB Ski Binding they are the same binding as the Dynastars but cheaper than both of the bindings you have listed above. I recommend lifter bindings over any other style binding.

Out of these two skis I prefer the Volkl Bridge. I would recommend mounting these skis +2 cm with Marker Jesters or Griffons, depending on where you set your din. I’m 6’3” 185lbs and would only buy the 185cm length and mount them with the Jesters. The 177cm length would be a good fit for you now but if you think you are going to grow over 6 feet tall in the next year or two you might consider buying the 185cm to grow into.

I beleive the freeride has more metal in the heel to make it stronger, which makes it heavier, a shorter mounting footprint, and is silver not white. the toe piece is the same but i think both have the upward toe release. If i'm not mistaken the freeride replaces the fks as rossie top of the line binding, and the sas2 is more of their park bindingThere is no difference except color. I own both of them. I have a pair of Axial2 freeride 150 mounted on a pair of S5's and a pair of SAS2 Freestyle 150 mounted on my Steezes.

The recommended binding for this ski is the Marker Jester. The Jester is an awesome binding super light and perfect release. I also use the Rossignol Axial2 Freeride 150 I really like this binding too. I haven't had any problems with pre-release and the construction this binding is bomb proof. The Rossignol binding is heavier because of it's almost full metal construction. So really what it breaks down to is two awesome bindings one that is lighter with plastic housing and one that is heavier and uses metal housing and seemingly more durable.

Out of these skis my favorite is the Volkl Bridge. The Bridge is probably the best all round ski currently offered. Also check out the K2 Kung Fujas. If you are looking at an all around ski look at skis in the 90mm to 100mm waists range. You will be glad you have the fatter ski on powder days but you won't miss the a more narrow ski as much when you are on a groomer.

If you are looking to use these skis for park riding you should also look into Volkl Wall, Armada AR6, K2 Extreme (formerly the K2 public enemy), or the Salomon Suspect.

The toe box in these boots are more narrow than full tilt boots. I have a pair of Dalbello Il Moros 28.5 and I wear 11.5 or 12 US size shoe. If you are having doubts about what boot to get check out a local ski shop and have them shell fit you to give you an idea of what boot type and shell size to buy. If you have a wider foot and are looking for a similar freestyle boot to the Dalbello Rampage check out the Salomon SPK or the Nordica Ignition.

Depends where on the mountain you are going to be spending most of your time on these skis.

Inno is a company that makes a mount to fit most every style of crossbar. The Inno fit guide says "Mounts to square, round & most factory crossbars" I have an Inno cargo box mounted to my '09 WRX with factory crossbars. Keep in mind these are a new style of crossbars so Inno has created a mounting system that is versatile and accommodating.

I'm pretty sure that the cross bars are not part of bike rack. Check out Yakima or Thule's websites to find what towers, clips and cross bars you need to fit your Honda Accord. Then buy this bike rack to accessorize your car rack and mount up your bike.

The griffons should be just fine for you if you only set your din up to 11. The griffons are the same construction as the Jesters but with a leaner spring producing a din of 12 as opposed to 16. Yes, the Griffon is to the Jester as the Baron is to the Duke. The Jester is the recommended binding for this ski so you are making the right choice buying either the Griffon or the Jester don’t forget to buy the 132mm brake to fit the Hellbents.

The next size down from the 184 is a 173 which is on the short size for someone your size. I would look at other skis maybe a little more narrow if you are an intermediate skier. I would check out the Volkl Bridge 177cm (92mm waist) Line Prophet 179cm (100mm waist) or if you really want a 100+ mm waist ski then check out the Scott P4 181cm (108mm waist). I've skied all of these before and they are all awesome. The P4's are surprisingly nimble for their size. I skied a pair of P4 191cm and they turned like a 171cm ski and were stable like a 200cm ski. The Prophet 100 and the P4 have metal in them so they are a little more heavy.
