Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

NTN telemarker-bushwacker or bridge? best size
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,

I'm after some Snowhead help. I'm an advanced/expert skiier who turned telemarker (I can recommend the sensation). It has also been a while since I purchased a pair of skis and things have moved on since my RPMs and '03 Rossi scratches...

So, I'm probably an intermediate telemarker, but still improving and I'm looking for one quiver to ride my NTNs. I'm considering either the bridges or bushwackers. I'm also hesitating on sizes. I'm 5ft11 and a fighting weight of 12-12.5st. I'm used to 178 skis (short for my ability I know but that is what I'm now used to) and I currently tele on Karhu Kodak 176s

So given I'm still getting my confidence at tele (so far no steep mogul fields, or couloirs) which should I go for? 173 bushwackers or 180 bushwackers? 170 bridges or 178 bridges? I've not ridden on skis with the cambers these skis have so I don't know how short the running length is or how they ride.

Terrain: completely variable. Most of the time it can be somewhere between ice and soft snow bumps, and when conditions are right powder. Due to missing decent snow most of my tele has been on groomers...but my skiing is mainly off-piste/steeps which is where I want to get my tele to.

Open to advice on sizing. I'm stuck at the moment on these options due to the versatility (from reviews) so I'm more after sizing guidance.

Thanks for your input!

Review I saw say Bushwacker skis short. So maybe you should take the long one. That would cover it when your skill improves and the longer one will be more appropriate.
