perelik1, keep them and get something else as well that's got a bit more width to it and a bit longer if you're venturing off piste.
I'm assuming you mean AMC79. I had a pair and wish I'd kept them as an on piste/variable ski. Great ski.

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

shoogly, Yes I did Mean AMC amended post. Which ski would you recommend then, as I do like the AMC79 really good on the piste very stable and did improved my skiing.

If you could get to a fridge and try some out only you could tell what you prefer. Your list of skis has a huge variation in it.
Depends if you want something that feels the same to ski as the Fischers?? Bear in mind they have carbon in them and so are very torsionally stable, much more so than some of the skis on your list.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'd keep the Fischers & get something with plenty of width & tip rocker as that really helps in the soft/variable stuff. I think all the skis in the list are too narrow & all are conventional camber which doesn't help at all. Don't be frigthtened by width/length as the more width underfoot the better float & rocker makes the ski a lot shorter. I'd say 100-115mm underfoot & a min of 180cm, longer if there's a lot of rocker. Camber should be just a few mm at the most. A longer radius is also more stable etc.
I presume that you've got the railflex bindings on your AMC's? If so you just need another set of railflex bases mounted on your fats & you can share the bindings across both skis to save cost/weight/bulk etc.

spyderjon, shoogly,
Thanks for your comments I value them, I will keep my AMC and start another search for skis. I do have a fridge near by at Castleford will see what EB have for demo. The AMC's do have the railflex I never thought of swapping bindings.
I have never skied anything wider than 79cm so it's all a bit daunting. Prior to the AMC I had a pair of Volkl AC30 unlimited in width 76 cm length 177cm, but I wasn't over enthused with them may be because I felt they where to long.
I will now have to rethink my list, have you any idea what I should be looking at? Would White Dot The Directors be OK

shoogly, I've drilled a lot of Line skis & there's not much resistance there.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Oooooppsss. I got a pair of Influence 105's yet to be mounted. Had I best use 14mm nuts and bolts??

spyderjon, Can you use the power plate / railflex system with the directors? I know I would have to get wider brakes. Not sure about Llasa Pows need to do more research, as a matter of interest what would they cost?

You know it makes sense.
|
perelik1, the regular railflex base would work well allowing you to share the bindings. There's a number of variations of the base so best to send me a pic of the bindings/rail on you AMC's. My email is: skituning at btinternet.com
I'll PM you re the Llasas.

I've yet to mount my prophets with my jesters. Had considered sending them to you for some quiver killers... you have me worried now though.
perelik1, sorry for the thread hijack.

shoogly, they'll be fine with QK inserts as they're a lot stronger than a conventional mount.

FAQ
- pity about the sawdust cores 
) & ski on a 196 which sounds very long but the effective edge on my Llasa Pow's is only the same length as my 165 slalom skis.
