 Poster: A snowHead
|
I was on the look out for some all mountain ski's to replace my two old pairs that would handle the park, piste and off piste and have ended up with some Rossignol S3 Koopmans (mainly because I couldn't resist the ridiculous price I got them for). They are brand new without bindings so I need to sort something on that front, I like Marker so probably looking at the Griffon or Jester, but would like people's opinions on whether you think its worth paying the extra to get the Schizo version?
Without doubt the option to move my mountings will be useful, but my main concern would be durability/trustworthiness of the Schizo binding, and also if there is much extra weight or effect on the ski performance over the regular option?
In terms of how I spend my time skiing - if there's good powder I will spend all my time off piste, obviously this only happens fairly infrequently so when there's no powder I spend my time 50/50 park/piste. I tend to like my bindings cranked up quite high in all situations.

Treacle, have you considered mounting them in your park and trad positions with the 'pudderludder' inserts, that way you can move the position without the extra weight. Its also easier to drop off the bindings completely for transport, good if your moving multiple sets of planks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

kevindonkleywood, Yeah I had thought about that as it would be the best of both worlds, do you know anywhere in the UK that can install inserts?

Treacle, are you in two minds about it then?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

OK I think that's made up my mind, I will go with the regular bindings and use the money saved to pay for a set of inserts to be installed for both positions. Then if I do another season and decide I want some full on off piste planks to go with my S3's I can get inserts in those and save money on buying another set of bindings
