Yeah Get the concepts. I just got mine in 2 weeks ago, I got the new ones size 175 with the new Zrr bindins which are dope as hell. Talk to Five40Guy for cheap Dynastar stuff though.

I'll sell you a pair of concepts (180cm) right now so you'll have em ready to go when the snow is. They are the newer ones with the ferns on them and come with Marker 9.1 (DIN to 14) bindings. They are in really great shape, I'd like to get $400 for them. Let me know.

definetely concepts, what kind of a question is that, for mountain skiing i would say 180's and it is beter to go long than short for a variety of different reason, for me legnth makes it more stable and its faster, cant go wrong weith that eh, but you cant go wrong with the concepts, they are one sweet ski!

The concept, the new ones, 180, you better love pop, and be a little bit heavier. If you are something like 170 pounds, perfect. If you are lighter, go for the scratch fs. I don't have any experience with the scratch fs in pow, but its flex is allright and its definately wider.
