so i just got back from the princeton ski shop wholesale at giants stadium and here are the spoils 
skis - atomic metron:10
bindings - atomic neox 4.12
boots - head edge 9.7
poles - axis aluminum poles
so what do you guys think? keep'em or look for something else? it was either this or k2 apache blackhawks, did i make the right decision?

falanx, a most important question: does all the gear colour match?

i don't know if that's supposed to be a sarcastic question or not but yes everything matches
when i was searching for the boots i couldn't find any boots that had black AND yellow, it was mostly blue or black with red or some other color. i pretty much gave up and went for the dalbello boots that were black and orange but then one of the staff guys found me the head boots (black with yellow in the latches). they were also the most comfortable, needless to say i was really happy haha

falanx, sarcastic? No. Tongue in cheek? Most definitely - you should see spyderjon's gear. In terms of colour matching, we're not worthy

Aluminium poles??? A bit last century, don't you think?

spyderjon, how do you think my new Dalbello Storm ID's will look with my Metrons and Burnin luvs?
falanx, You should like your skis very much. The M10 is the most underrated ski in the metron line.
Your poles are fine for starters. but you will likely want something lighter after a while.
Nice package overall.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
spyderjon, you haven't had the pleasure of seeing my full set-up but I do crave those adjustable matching poles for my Sweet Daddies. Could you advise on whether Rupert the Bear trousers will go with the boot/ski combo you've seen so far?

i know but i didn't want to spend too much money on poles as they're the least important of all the ski equipment. they're not too heavy anyways. do you have any recommendations on poles?

Yeah, hold them at the strappy end.
Seriously, don't worry, poles are poles are poles...

Flexon Phil, ssh, I was wondering, would it be worthwhile for me to demo a metron?
You think they're any good?

I am partial the 10's that he got, that is a nice ski. I hear the new M11 B5 is nice. I might get on them this year for a run or two.

Flexon Phil, I was thinking the Metron B5, but it may be too much ski for someone my size. What do you think? I hear they're pretty beefy.

Rumour has it..go long. From what I hear, the B5 is a good "girls ski" or for a guy trying to compensate for something. But I really am not sure..I am just a hack when it comes to this stuff, I really don't way that much attention. I will ski whatever falls into my hands. I am not too particular.

haha oh i get it now, well if anyone thought that there were hard feelings between flexon and i, you're wrong. i was just joking around with him and i hope he knew that as well
i don't really visit this forum so i wouldn't really know who is who but i definitely know that most people on this forum are more qualified than me when it comes to skiing knowledge
and now that i know flexon is so loaded that he can afford to buy 5 pairs of skis in 1 year, can i buy your metron:11's from you at the end of the ski season since you're just going to buy the most recent skis next season? haha

Mm'kay. The other two hooks up there don't cast on TGR though.
falanx, a belated welcome to 
For smoother and possibly more directly helpful response posts in the future, it may help to give more details about yourself and your skiing goals.
(Phil & Snowhot have apparently demonstrated that you are male, but beyond that ?)
