Yoo guys i want to buy a new touring ski and it will be between the Ferox and Atris and maybe a Rmu Apostle 106 but most likely its gonna be the Ferox. Does anyone have the Ferox and could tell me if you like, whats good and bad? i'm a good skier with a height of 180 cm and a weight of 73kg, would you go with 177 or 181 length? Im thinking about put a ATK R14 on it, any other suggestions? thanks alot :)
 
im just a little bit scared that this ski doesn't provide a good maneuverability. i own a jj ul 185 length but there is like almost 70 cm pure rocker

the ferox has less rocker but you wouldn’t find it cumbersome. 181 length will be much better for you than the 176.

Blackcrows measurements are slightly under anyway so it more like 180
 
appreciate that, thanks alot! will definitely buy the 181

ATK r14 are good, depends on what your wanting out of the ski and binding. I guess your more focused on a tech touring binding than an alpine equivalent?
 
i mean i first thought about a Cast or Duke but theyre so heavy and i talked to a few people which told me that a r14 is a great binding and hold up with even through jumps ans cliffs and so. He only think why i would want a heavier binding is just because of the safety no?

Yeah generally as safety capabilities increase weight also does. It could be worth having a look at the salomon/atomic/armada shift
 
i don't really know what i should think about this binding. it's quite heavy and lots of peoplr were talking about its pre releases. Seeing Nikolai Schirmer on a G3 Ion 12 or Kristofer on Atk R14 opened up my eyes, why should i buy a heavyweight if even these two can do pretty much everything on a low weight tech binding.

Yeah that’s a fair argument. Nikolai stands by his ion because it works for him well.
