They're not FKS bindings, they're PX series, that's just how they do that colorway for those bindings.

don't think as those are not black. I imagine he just noticed the orange toe-pieces and assumed they were FKS.

Those Opus are pure sex. One of my goals in life, is to own those (and last years) purely as art on my wall. Wouldn't even mount them.

HAHA! they definitely are something to look at but also something to ski on. Brought them to my local mountain in Tahoe yesterday as my first time skiing on them. The conditions were shit and they held an edge all day, never had any doubt in them, and they felt like I was skiing on a 100 waist ski. I assume they are fantastic in powder given that its what's the skis directed towards. Definitely worth the 700$ so far.

I've read a bunch of negative crap on Marker in general, but they've been solid as hell for me so far.  I have AT boots and wanted a binding with a high enough din, had an adjustable height in the toe piece and could tour.  Last year this was really the only binding that met that criteria besides going with the dynafit radical.

What's wrong with dukes? One of the only AT binding that skis like an alpine binding and has been around for more than a season to prove itself.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. This quiver is amazing and I am very stoked on how far I've come. I was corrected, they are Vicik Tours for those that care.

As far as which skis to grab on any given morning, I break it down like this:

Deep pow (18"+) - Pillowfights. But I still have the urge to ride them on less snowy days just because they are that fun.

Pow ski (10"+/leftovers) - Billy Goats. I had the 11/12 191 Billy Goats and upgraded for the increased hard snow performance. I rode last year's BG's about 65% of my days on the mountain.

Everyday play/jib - Jeffrey's. I had the 11/12 version and upgraded this past April to the 12/13's and they are the best do it all ski out there for my location (PNW.) They charge, they float, they handle hard pack better than the dimensions may indicate. They literally kill it everywhere.

Everyday charge/tour - Vicik Tours. I'd pick these to haul ass in one direction, to make shitty snow days more fun, and to tour on. Got them out in a bit of powder today (6" or so), and they definitely exceeded expectations in the fresh. I can't wait to get these out in some deeper snow.

Granted, that breakdown is subject to change at anytime. Sometimes it's more fun to ride different skis regardless of conditions.

I'm intrueged by the veneer topsheet on your Viciks. Is it woodstained wood veneer with a clear topsheet, with varnish or what?
