Replying to Did my research but still need help on my new set up (ski+bindings).
Hi All! I'm buying a new pair this year and although I think I know which skis I'll go for, I'm still not 100% sure and I'd love to know if you have alternative suggestions.
Swiss
31yo
88kg (195lbs)
179cm
Around 20 days per seasons
Volkl Kendo for the last 3 years
75% Groomers 15% Park 10% Powder (for now).
I'd say I'm a good skier, been skiing every year since I'm 5. Been riding on Volkl Kendo for the last few years and loved them. They handle speed perfectly and I could power through almost anything but I wish to try something more fun. I wish to improve my switch skiing and go off piste a bit more as I suck balls in anything deeper than my ankle =/. I wish to learn a few easy tricks as well and enjoy the mountain in a different way than just charging GS turns.
For now, I'm looking at Faction CT 2.0 but I'm open to new ideas? CT 2.0 seem to be playful freestyle all-rounders but with enough stiffness to allow for my style of fast riding groomers.
My kendo were 90 at the waiste and I think I'm ready to try 100+ skis.
I'd like to have twin tips, at least tails with more rise than my kendo to feel safer when riding switch.
I'm also wondering about my bindings, I believe i could get them with Tyrolla Attack 13. How are they?
Also where to mount them? As I ski mostly groomers for now I still think I should mount them at the all terrain mark which is +5 I believe? Will I still be able to ride switch without too much work with bidning that far back? Should I move them a bit more towards center?
Anyhoo.. Sorry for the wall of text. Cheers to anyone with suggestions!
Recap:
Faction CT 2.0 or something else for an allround freestyle ski fun but I can charge with?
Tyrolla Attack 13 ?
Where to mount them?
