Just a question on the new bindings, what toe and heel pieces are you guys using?

how soft would you guys say your skis are in general? I know its a broad question but park ski wise are they stiff or super flexy or what?

None of our park skis are overly stiff or overly soft. I would describe them as playful with lots of pop. They're all stable enough for large jumps yet you can easily butter on them.

How would you describe the egotrip?
Im looking for a touring/powder ski in the 105-110 waist range.

We've considered building a 183cm for a couple years. Maybe one day it'll happen.

While the Ego Trip has no issues holding it's own at the resort but it was specifically designed for touring/big mtn riding. It's extremely light weight and will blast through essentially all snow conditions. Has plenty of float for the deepest pow yet take it on a groomer rail carves with no issue.

This is literally the ONLY complaint I have with my 12/13 Antidogmas. I wish you guys would make a 18~ length. It would be perfect.
For anyone thinking about Antidogmas or Amplid in general, stop hesitating and pick up a pair of their skis. I had an older pair of Antidogmas that kind of just fell apart...like right now they're missing more edge than they have. I got a pair of ON3P's, and then when those broke, thought about getting another pair of Antidogmas since I liked them so much. They're super playful, stiff yet still able to butter all over the place. They hold up on jumps like a champ...they're awesome. I was a bit skeptical ordering them, though for fear of them falling apart again. I don't know what they did, but Amplid definitely fixed whatever was up with it. I beat my skis up, and with about 40~ days on this pair so far, they've only got a few small edge cracks and some topsheet chips.
And they're incredibly light.
Buy Amplid.

How much metal they got in them?

Sorry for the late reply. The majority of the binding is plastic to keep the weight down. The heel piece glider/tracks are metal, the toe riser is stainless steel like Marker bindings and the mechanism behind the step-in heel piece is also metal. It's a durable binding. If you have a look at the Amplid website you can get a close-up of the binding with a mouse-over. The Tyrolia site is still displaying last year's gear at the moment. Hope that helps.
