 Poster: A snowHead

SMALLZOOKEEPER, perhaps not a direct comparison but i found the same thing with the Recons between the 174 and 181. The longer skis were like battleships and the shorter very turny. i have said before that my short radius turns on piste were comperable to peoples on RC4's and i would hate to lose the manuverablility.
I am tall at 6'4" but really enjoyed the 174 recons so i am leaning slightly shorter may be the way to go for all round enjoyment on tele and alpine with a little loss of ease of skiing in deeper snow but i dont mind a challenge in the occassional powder i get....
Karmas in 177 are sounding very tempting...... Not to reopen a big debate about Karmas vs bridge but is there really much difference ...

SMALLZOOKEEPER,
Do the Bridges ski more like the Karmas or the Gotamas?

Good choice skimottaret.
Btw if anyone's interested, as a result of a severe case of quiver overlap I have a spare pair of brand new 06/07 177cm Karmas in wrapping for sale - £175.

Dunno if you can get them with your voucher thingy, but Black Diamond are making some sweet skis this year... http://www.bdel.com/gear/skis_overview.php
the machine could be a possibility, though it is perhaps a bit stiff to learn to tele on

ooo - is it just me but if you are only going to have one (alpine) ski wouldn't it have to be one of those? Not sure for tele though.
JT nails the desription of the XL above. I ski them at 174 but an XXL in 178.....

I've heard great things about the Karma as a tele ski.

You know it makes sense.

And very nice they look too. I presume you want them mounting on the freeride line or are you planning on venturing into the park at all?

rob@rar, defo at the next tele session just waiting on tele bindings to come in at S&R
kiwi1, went with Jon's suggestion which was the TT and the beefier 6-14 range bindings. I didnt want too much rise in the plate but they look to be a nice set up....
PK2, you can get AT bindings (naxo, duke, etc) which are compatible with alpine boots so only need two boots for all my sliding requirements....  .
