I chose these skis because I knew I'd log a lot more resort hours than backcountry hours this season, and after reading everyone's reviews and seeing all the awards they received. I agree, just stellar. They are stable, bust through crud like a tank on a turbo setting, snap into a turn quickly, have great flotation in [east coast] powder and perform great in corn and even slush. My favorite thing about them? ZERO chatter and I mean all season long. The only place I had trouble with them is hard bumps, I literally got thrown around like on them an old ragdoll and had to pull out softer boards. I mounted a Hammerhead on them and must admit that this is by far my favorite setup. Also, have never had twin tips before (not much of a jibber) but they came in handy this year skiing backwards while teaching my 4 year old and it was pretty smooth.

These are by far the best bindings I've ever skied. I've been on Violes, Rottefellas, T9s, and 02s, but my hammerheads easily outperform them all. I love the fact I can customize the pivot point on the fly, I loosen them up a bit for bumps and tighten them down for bustin' through crud. My friends tried to tell me about these bindings for several years now, I wish I'd listened before, I swear they've made me a better skier. From now on its hammerheads all the way!

Wow, what a difference, swapped out long cartridges for these short ones as the long ones kept traveling on me and releasing me at inopportune moments. Not only do I stay in the binding but man they have redefined STIFF! W00t!!

These work great for my 10-month-old; he seems to be sensitive to light in his eyes, and these really do the trick for him. I am surprised that he doesn't pull them off because he hates to wear hats. The shades seem to fit him well, too, even though he's a BIG boy (95th percentile).
