Maybe someone can give me some insight. I am 6ft 210lbs and am moving more into the direction of backcountry skiing since that is my back yard in the Bitterroot Mtn range in Montana. I am looking for a ski that can be used with a pair of Daimir AT bindings that I can also use on days at the local ski hill. I was either thinking the Sentinels or the El Dictator. Salomon are the brand I will use for sure but just need help from some experts in the BC. I'm sure someone out there can help. Thanks

Yea your looking at two totally different skis. The El Dictator has one thing in mind... god straight down as fast as possible. The Sentinal is a sweet ski, but you can go fatter, and why not? Although it would do the job and is way more versatile the the El Dic, I would go for a Shogun or even the Czar, if you want to stick to Salomon. Shogun is probably your best bet. IMO it is the most versatile ski they make.

You could also look at the Shogun, it is wider and lighter than the Sentinel so probably better for the backcountry, but not as burly for ripping on hard snow - http://www.backcountry.com/salomon-shogun-ski

I would probably go with the sentinels in a 191cm. It will be a better all mountain/all conditions ski, where the el dictator is more big mountain deeper snow ski.
