Wow... they seem kind of short for you.

Oh wait... you're talking about the black ones.

Nevermind.

@dbostedo aren't those short skis the same as what you ski on

I have some short white skis... but I think they're a little bit taller than those. Maybe by a couple of cm's or so.

Rossignol Hero Elite LT Ti @177, with an R22 plate and SPX 15 Rockerace bindings. A bit stiffer than the SLs. Backpacking United came through again: About 40% off and the only place I could find them with an R22 instead of the Konnects.

Arrived today from the Corbett’s Boxing week sale. Next year’s set up for teen. The dog added the dolphin for scale, I guess.

You might want to use those heel tracks.

They aren’t getting mounted until he needs new boots - he just wanted to see how the colours looked together! You know, really important stuff…

Yeah, I get on my wife's Santa Anas and just let'em run.

I updated my resort quiver for this season with the final piece - the Laser SLs on the left - added this week.

Haven’t been on the Laser SLs (or any SLs for that matter) yet, but looking forward to getting out on them when there’s not much on offer off piste.

Knobs that the toe piece hangs on.

Haha I can tell they are knobs, those just look prefabricated to make life easy!

Yeah, you got me. Love the Pivots!

I replaced the Head Freeflex bindings that we on my AXs with Pivots over the summer, and they completely transformed the skis for me. Not sure if it’s the delta, the shorter mounting pattern or something else, but they’re a different ski now. I was thinking about getting rid of the AXs before the binding swap but now they’re firmly in the quiver and first choice for days where there’s been no snow for a while, but where it’s not a complete sheet of ice (that’s what the SLs are for).
