    10/8/2008 Ski Genius › Questions and Answers | 0 comments

    hi, i need some help choosing a ski. I'v narrowed my choices down to the armada el rey, k2 silencer and the rossignol scratch scream in's. I'm planning on getting the rossignol scratch scream in's. I'm 173cm and about 150 ~ 160 pounds. I spend half the day on groomers/pow and the other half in the park. I'm just beginning to learn to ride in the park. so I'm a bit of a park newbie.

    What's the difference between an internal frame backpack and an external frame backpack. I was at my local sporting goods store last night and the sales person mentioned over and over again that the packs I was looking at where 'internal framed' packs. Thanks for the help.

    I love going on long hikes and multiple night river trips. The only problem I have is outfitting myself properly. Quite frankly I find the current selection, quality and fit of most clothes and gear to be less then what I expect for the prices I am paying.

    I am looking at getting a new pair of skis for the winter and I'm wondering what size I would need. I'm looking at a pair of Armada El Reys.

    Twin Tip Ski Sizing and Binding Location

    Ski Genius › Questions and Answers 0 comments

    I have been skiing for 12 years (since I was 4) and consider myself an advanced skier. I've almost always skied on short racing skies on mostly hard-packed and slushy snow. I very rarely ski in powder. I'm looking into getting a pair of skies with the bindings mounted in the center of the ski (rather than towards the back) and learning park. I was wondering if the sizing for these types of skies are different because there is less ski in front of the binding.
