Replying to What do I pair my marker duke's with?

I've been sitting (ouch) of a pair of markerdukes since late April. Any suggestions on what I might pair these with? I'm135lbs and just 5'5", but I'm not afraid of longer skis especially sinceboth of my other regular pairs are short (and feel real short)

My park ski is a 2007 Karma 169, my fatter ski is a 2007 Gotama 169. I skiaround lake Tahoe, mostly Kirkwood and Sierra (2 hours and 35 minutes from myplace in Berkeley). I'm not going to land these things switch off 12 footers,but I do ski switch and spin enough to want to mount these things near themiddle of a pretty symmetrical ski.

I probably ride crud/crust/cement as much as powder, but I'm more often in thetrees than on the corduroy (though I'd like to be able rip quickly downhardpack too).

So, there's a couple of skis I'm looking at, sort of in this order:

The Sir Fransis Bacon
Volkl Chopsticks
Volkl Wall
Nordica Zeros

The dukes will be my first AT setup. I can probably pull off two pairs of skis thisseason (really two sets of skis and one more pair of bindings). So how do I complementwhat I have already?

What do I pair the duke's with, and what should I be considering for my other setup.

Thanks
