No Speed Limit!

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #241 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis October 17, 2010

I love this ski. It is amazing. There is no speed limit. It is the most stable ski I have ever skied on. The huge tip create a hydro-plainning feeling. The tapered tail acts like a brake. All you have to do is lean back a little bit to slow down. You would think these skis would be miserable on groomers, but they are actually a blast as long as you are ok going super fast. It is hard to get the ski to roll over at slow speeds, but as soon as you hit mock-chicken, they are responsive and playful. It's definitely not a ski for your mom. This is a ski for someone who wants to challenge the limits of speed. It's so much fun!

Jess, may I ask which binding you have? I just purchased a pair of these and trying to determine which binding to use. Looking at the Jester Schizo 16. Thank you.
