    Recommendations for stiff, rockered, jibby, pow ski

    I guess something like a Bent Chetler, YLE, or Opus, but I have no idea how stiff these are aside from flexing them in the store. I kinda like the flex of an AR7 which feels a bit more solid, so something in that sort of range. Also not looking for something too dampened or too wide - around 120...

    Dalbello plastic cuff closures - durability

    I recall reading a few threads a year or two ago about the plastic cuff closures on Dalbello boots breaking. Can't remember though if this happened on Voodoos and/or Il Moros. Is this still an issue? Pretty keen on some Il Moros, and yes, done the bootfitter thing. +K

    Freeride vs Big Mountain category

    Are these the same to you? I’m referring to the mid-fats that sit in the category between all-mountain and pow. Volkl call them “freeride”, Line call them “big mountain”, other brands skip the category altogether. What’s your take?

    Volkl Step 171 or 179?

    So I'm just below 6'0 (182 cm), weigh around 165 lb. Earlier this year I took the Volkl Step 171 for a spin and it was awesome - super light and stable - felt like I had nothing on my feet. But I'm thinking that I should be looking at the 179 because of my height?!? The Step has tip and tail...

    How's the new Smith blackout lens?

    Anyone used one yet? Tried one in the shop but it didn't do much for contrast. Seems like it just cuts glare. For bright conditions I'm thinking the blackout or the green sol x. Any advice??
