These skis are longer than I'm used to skiing on. (normally ski ~160cm) Loved teleing last season and picked it up very quickly after several years apline skiing. I'm looking for a longer ski to mount my 22 Designs Bombshell bindings on for rocking some backcountry day trips this winter (as well as a week long hut to hut in Colorado). Can I get some feedback on these skis paired with my situation? I feel like the 171cm length would be a great fit for me, but a second opinion would be wonderful. Also, wondering what the flex is like on these? Since they are longer than I'm used to, I want to make sure they aren't stiff as bricks so I can have some fun navigating the pow.
