First of all, Im 5'10 and 150 lbs ( planning to be 180 lbs next winter). Intermidiate skier/ expert. So here the deal,i have some 175 cm JJ's for last year whit jester, they are in great condition like 8.5/10, but thats not the deal. Since i have cost - 30% of salomon, i want to buy some bigger stick, and rocker 2 seem nice. So should i sell my JJ's for like 375$ whitout the Jester and buy some 180cm or 184 cm rocker 2? I From quebec and we got some pow day, but im goiing out west next season and i want to hike. So should i buy Rocker 2 whit some mfd alltime and skin ? or buy some mfd alltime and skin for my JJ's? Or I keep my JJ's and i mount my next year 2012 whit mfd alltime ? but i might not bring 3 pair of ski there. so the dumont would stay home if i dont have place in the car.

so which set-up will be the best ?

1. JJ's 175cm whit some jester/mfd alltime and skin ( touring and deep pow)+ 179 cm 2012 whit sth 14 ( everyday ski) + old dumont (for park)

2. Salomon Rocker 2 whit Jester/mfd and skin ( touring and deep pow) + 179 cm 2010 whit sth 14 ( every day ski ) + old dumont ( park )

3. Salomon rocker 2 or JJ's whit jester ( deep pow, every day ski) + 179 cm 2012 whit baron, or mfd alltime ( for touring ) + dumont for park

p.s i got a beacon, probe shovel, and im goiing to take some course for avalanche

sorry if i forgot some information. just let me know
 
I´ve seen the rocker 2 and i flexed them and they were pretty flexible and playful but i wouldn´t use them as my touring skis, i would stick to jjs for touring.

Why are you going to use the mfd alltime?

i dont really know a lot about touring, it is just my opinion.
 
well, i want to use some mfd alltime because they look great and not to much heavy. Plus touring binding like dynafit and the other will break if i ski them in resort ( i think). So its mfd or baron/duke.
 
i think ill go for option 2, but i want to know if the mfd will hold up great. Because i will ski them if we have some pow. so ill jump big cliff, tight tress and bc booters whit them.
 
Yea i see one pics, looks great. They were on salomon rocker2, but i dont think they will be out next year. Btw +k
 
I have heard that the total weight of MDF + bindings are heavier than the duke, but i´m not sure. Anybody know the exact weight of the MDF and the new salomon touring bindings?
 
Well, i hope that youre wrong ahah. Btw the weight of mfd will be great. Illtry too find it, and the new salomon touring binding looks a little heavy. According to what i see.
