Barons vs. Dukes

[+Tahoe_Shredder+]

Are Dukes really worth the extra $100? Planning on mounting my pow skis with either barons or dukes, but I would also use them for resort pow days in addition to bc which kinda makes me wanna get the dukes because of riding resort.

No marker experience but from what I've heard absolutely.

How much do you weight? What DIN do you ride? Do you huck big cliffs? Are you generally hard on gear?

I weigh 130, ride with 8.5 din, and I plan on hucking cliffs at resort and backcountry plus ill probly ski some couloirs where I wouldn't want anything to fail. Wouldn't say im hard on gear but my bindings ripped out of my park skis a month ago probly due to shitty bindings and two years of use on them.

You should be fine on barons. Suck up the extra cost and buy new, I bought used barons an learned that lesson the hard way.

Buy new baron's, they will last longer.

And I have baron's and they are good. I have 60 days on them, from groomer's to cliff to chute. And I have maybe 20 tour's days.

Just buy the baron's unless you are buying the new duke epf
