Thanks for the help so far everyone. I'll most likely mount it in the suggested spot then or ever so slight more forward. Sounds about right since i'll be mostly using it as an all mountin ski.

185 Karmas are arriving tmrw with Rossi FKS 155 bindings. I will be taking them to Nor Ski Sports (local cali shop to me) to get mounted. I havent spoke with them about mounting before but the owner knew alot about different products when I spoke with him before. But to make sure they will be...

yes I can afford the turbo fan. Quick question though, will the turbo fan model fog up more than the normal ones if the fan is off? By looking at the goggles, the regular ones have vents on the front where as the turbo model looks all sealed up (most likely so the fan will do its job) also is...

eat a dick.

How much more do shops charge to bend the brakes usually? I am having a shop mount my new Karma's with Rosi FKS 155 bindings. I want it done right but I also want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off for the service.

nope, i'm 6'3" 190lbs. workout throughout the week and I use an Elliptical machine 3 times a week to do cardio workout. so for skiing I'm in great shape. Guess I'll go with the regular phenoms and skip the fan.

I'm looking to purchase some Smith Phenom goggles for this season. Do you guys recommend getting the turbo fan series or do the regular phenoms work just as well? I ski in Tahoe, Cali and the weather varies alot.

I'm looking to pick up the Phenom goggles and would like to hear more about them. Is it worth getting the turbo fan moddle or do the regular phenom's do the job?

take more pictures!!!! :)

Hah yea i'm in the same boat as you. 185 Karma's coming in next week. I'm 6'3" 190-195lbs and ride mainly on groom/offtrail and 20% park. Need to find a good mounting point. I'm using 13.5 sized boots with FKS 155 bindings.

big troubles sound good for you. my friend rides them in a 176 and goes all over the mountain and doesn't complain one bit about them, says they are awesome. He is one inch taller than you and about 20lbs heavier though but if you are an advanced skier then you shouldn't have a problem. Start...

invaderskier36 - no :( I didn't know newschoolers had discount on that site. What is the promotion code, maybe I'll see if it isn't too late to use it.

jjibs1219 - hmm thats odd. I've never dealt with the shop I went to but they were within 10 minutes of me and they are a recommend vendor on the Volkl website. Maybe he was just blowing smoke up my ass and wanting me to purchase something he had in stock at the time. He said he talked to...

freeski1620 - thanks alot dude. I just placed my order through proctor jones site, should ship today they said :) I was starting to panic because my local shop just got back to me and volkl no longer has them in stock so it just came down to finding the right site that had them in stock in the...

bump

I've been to two local shops that are pretty close to me (Bay Area, Cali) and so far these shops are taking forever to get back to me. I'm going to swing by tmrw one more time to see if they can get in contact with Volkl about ordering this ski. If they can't help me out tmrw then I might just...

i'm picking up a set of Smith Phenom's w/ fan for this season. Just need to decide on white/platinum mirror or white rc36

yea the FKS looks like a great binding. So the FKS 185 binding is what you guys would all recommend for the Karma? Also do I need to specify I need the freeride version for the Karma or are they all the same size?

hhaha yea my feet are pretty big ;) I read that I should get a larger din binding because of my height/weight, someone mentioned at least a binding with a 14 din.

I finally decided on a new ski for this season and i'm going with the 185 Volkl Karma (thanks for the great help in the other thread guys!!) Just to recap - 6"3' - 190 - 40% groomed, 40% non groomed (not deep powder), 20% park - Above average ski level -boot size is 13.5 -Ski in...
