Lengths + Bindings.

After looking at K2 Extremes, Armda El Reys, and Liberty Hazmats, I've decided to go with the Hazmats.

I can pick up a 171 for £175 or a 181 for £185-200. No Bindings.

I'm pretty damn stuck onto which length to get, when I had my Rossingol Scratch Sprayer FS's, I had them in a 174 but I guess i only found them long when in tight tree's :/

I'm 6'1, 150lbs, (Yes i know I'm pretty light, I'm not broad but I'm not anorexic or have no muscle mass whatsoever) Will be skiing 50 - 60% Groomers. 20% Park, maybe a bit more, and the rest off piste. So I'm very unsure about getting 181's. :/

And I need a decent binding suggestion that would be suitable for the ski's. Think I'm gonna mount them at Libertys 'Cab Forward' or just behind. Thanks Guys (Y)

Don't want the bindings to be fucking expensive either :/

I am exactly your build and I can see your problem. I have an old pair of 169 fujatives from like 3 or 4 years ago that I feel are way too short and squirrely when I ride them. 2 years ago I was on a pair of 180 Liberty KGBs and I liked the longer length. Last year I was on 178 Phil Larrose Pros.. perfect length. This year I'm on 175 Elan Puzzles and I think they'll be good too. I guess I would go with the 181's just because I think the 171's will be too short for higher speeds, but I enjoy a longer ski. Good luck. As far as bindings I would go with a look px12 type binding... they're on steepandcheap and tramdock all the time.... nice and cheap.

Alright, thanks for the advice on the Lengths, and I'm afraid that's gonna be a problem about the bindings , seeing as I'm in the UK. Just had a hunt on google for some, no UK stores have them by the looks of it unless they're already on Dynsastars Ski's already :/

Anyone else got any insights? And they've gotta be Foot Size adjustable. I only just realised that..
