sorry but the double post but I forgot to add that I have been riding 161's for the last 3 years so I'm used to short planks that were way too small for me.

'10 line chronics or
'11 masterminds
I'm pretty light (120) but I can get the chronics cheaper than the masterminds

The chronics will be pretty stiff for you.
Are you a beginner?

http://www.basinshopping.com/Product/2010-Rossignol-FKS-155-Binding.24104.2991.aspx

Is this binding actually the FKS 155?  It just looks a little different to me.  Considering buying it if it actually is the 155.

I didn't think it was FKS.  That's really gay, it would've been a killer deal.

SPECS:
height: 6'3" (not likely to grow anymore)
weight: pushing 160

current rig: EP pros with dukes/atomic punx with shit demo bindings

I'm mostly looking at Line SFB's and Armada jj's to fill the gap or replace the atomics entirely. I know what lengths I would get.

I've tried the jj and I really liked it. It was light, snappy, and skied through crud like a dream. I've been waiting for a rockered bacon since '08 and it's finally here but I haven't tried it.

I've heard the jj is better but this winter I'm working at a shop that sells line but not armada so I can get the bacon a lot cheaper than the jj. I know my instore discount will be 30% but I might be able to shop form for less(? not sure) but at least the 30%. Is the jj better by enough that I should pay more for it or should I just get bacons because I can get a deal?

Well the bacons are softer and more jibby so its really up to you if you want a stiffer ski than can blast through crud or one the get bounced around more. I demoed them this year on a pow day and they were super fun. They just were to soft to really charge anything.

Thanks for the advice! I already ride a pair of EP's so if anything, this will still be a step in a stiffer direction, good to hear from someone who tried them! Someone else told me they felt sort of dead, would you agree?

I would say the jjs are much more alive then the bacons but their not that bad.

Looking for a pair of skis for  present for my girlfriend.

Stats: Height 5'8. Weight 130lbs. Athletic (like professional dancer) Intermediate skier, looking for her first pair of twin tips

She skis: 60% all mountain : 40% park (just started, in indoor ski halls in UK)

Ability: cruises all pistes with good technique, can slide a box sideways, learning 180 on bunny jumps, some (tearful) off piste experience with me, can ski some steeps when pushed but she doesnt charge off piste.

Only pair of twins shes skiied are some of my clubs 151 09/10 mai tais which she loved but were redic short for her.

What I'm considering:

159/169  10/11 missdemeanour + squire £314 = $480

159 09/10 miss conduct with nxt 11 bindings £201 = $310

161 mai tai with nx11s = £312 = $480

157/171 liberty jinxes (would LOVE 164 but you just cant get them in UK unless you buy from liberty dealer and the're like £380 flat ski = $580, can get 171 for about £180 = $280

164 06/07 missdemeanour with nx11 for £182  =  $280

I'm mega busy with work so all shopping will have to be done on internet. Price is important as am skint at the moment and she will also be getting skiing holiday for her (my) christmas...

 so +K++ for help and advice on length,  experience on skis especially the new missdemeanours... etc and any other choices I could consider?durability etc. Cheers in advance!!

Check this out: http://www.sport-conrad.com/index.asp?disp=artikel&art_nr=70005247


You can get them fitting with bindings ( cheapest is m10) and postage to uk is around 20 quid, That should work out at around 160 euros? Im not to sure on full prices but its a killer deal

The "spade logo" and cards isn't an ignant, it would be a Royally Fitted with the sleeves cut off to be a vest.
