Can't Decide!!
... having a hard time deciding on new ski's. I am 5'10" 180 lbs, ski 25+ days in Montana, Wyoming, and a bit in Utah... I enjoy all mountain conditions, but gravitate toward bowl skiing... not much time in the park or on moguls, but some. I am also interested in some limited backcountry excursions and hiking above the lift. I enjoy powder whenever its available. I am looking at the volkl mantra, kendo, and especially the bridge mounted with the marker duke. I am wondering if the bridge is the best all mountain ski from volkl... I am also wondering if I should go with the 171's or the 179's, the reviews on length seem split for my height and weight.
