K2 Snowboards Brigade Snowboard - Wide
September 30, 2010
Wherever you're hearing that they are less versatile and slower is just a lie. Wide snowboards have a purpose and their purpose is to give a good board to people who generally have a size 11.5 or bigger boot. They are going to built the exact same way as their narrower friends but just have a little bit wider of a base to accomodate for width. I personally ride a wide board, since my boot is 13. Neither slower or less versatile, if you have the foot size and overall size to handle the extra width it will actually perform better for you than a narrower board.

K2 T Nine Burnin Luv Ski w/ Marker ERS 11.0 TC Binding - Women's
November 3, 2009
That's really hard to decide on without some more info. Two things you need to factor in are what is your skiing ability and also what part of the country are you skiing in mostly? If you're out west and in softer snow more often than hard snow then you'd probably want to size up while in the east you're going to want to have a short ski generally.
From your height/weight, you're probably going to want to be in the 156cm if you're more of a casual/intermediate skiier while the 163cm would be good if you're more of an advanced/expert skiier.

Lib Technologies NAS Park Alpine Ski
November 3, 2009
If you want an honest answer, not that good at all. They're way too narrow to be good in any significant amount of new snow. 84 underfoot and only 113 at the nose. You're going to sink a lot in anything over 6" of new snow. There isn't really a park ski that is good in powder, they're completely different skis. If you're doing both extensively then I suggest picking up two pairs of skis. If not then you'll be fine with an occasional off-piste run.

Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket - Men's
November 3, 2009
Chris, you're only going to need a Large. This jacket doesn't fit snug, this year it is running bigger to accommodate for layers which in most cases people are actually sizing down. With a 44" chest you should be fine with the Large and still have ample room for layering.

Salomon Suspect Ski
February 10, 2009
It depends on what you're looking for in a ski...The Suspect is pretty much park specific while the S3 Pommier is going to be great for all-mountain as well. The S3 Pommier is stiffer and going to carve better.

K2 Missbehaved Ski - Women's
January 27, 2009
These are both extremely different skis than the Phat Luv. The Phat Luv is more of a All-mountain Carve ski while the Missbehaved and Aura are all-mountain/powder oriented skis. They are going to be better off-piste (off the groomed) since they are wider and will float on soft snow and charge through crud better. The Volkl Aura is probably closest to the K2 Phat Luv in terms of ski size. Both would be great options and ski very similar, the Missbehaved is just a little bit wider.

Marker Jester Ski Binding
January 27, 2009
will not fit. But you can rebend it (see youtube) fairly easy. 110 will fit but the skis won't stay tight when you put them together (could also drag a big.) I'd go with 90's and rebend.90mm brakes will fit pretty easily on anything that is 3mm or so bigger than the actual break without bendingn, you might need to bend a little but not a large amount

Scott Crusade Alpine Ski
January 27, 2009
The P4 is a fatter ski so it will float even more than this ski actually. Fatter skis will also allow for more crud busting and stability in variable snow conditions.The P4 is a little bit stiffer which helps in crud and on groomers. This Crusade is a little bit softer.

Electric EG2 Lens
January 27, 2009
Yes, Clear lenses are generally just used for night skiing/riding but you can use them on extremely stormy days. The best storm lens would be the Yellow though. The Orange would be the best all-around lens.

Backcountry.com doesn't have a price match policy but you could get on chat and ask one of the gearheads about it, they might be able to help out. They can help you with some bindings as well since there are so many options depending on your height, weight and price range.

Armada JJ Alpine Ski
January 27, 2009
What's your weight and skiing ability? That's the biggest factor in ski length. It's hard to gauge since you're riding on 169's right now which must mean you're 150ish pounds or less based on sizing. If you're closer to 200 lbs. and feel like you're an advanced skiier then you could easily go with the 185cm. This ski with the slight rocker skis a little bit shorter than the actual length.

Black Diamond Joule Ski - Women's
January 27, 2009
Height and weight play a factor in getting a general size. Then you have to factor in skiing ability. If you're an aggressive/experienced skiier I would definitely recommend the 165. With a 155 you're going to overpower the ski and going to be forcing turns instead of allowing the natural ski turn progression. Especially with your skiing level you'll be able to get quick turns on a big ski. Bigger skis will also help you more in off-piste situations which it sounds like you're skiing. Also in a fatter ski I like going a little bit longer, it gives a little bit more stability on the ski.Just a thought from a BC.com gearhead.

G3 Saint Ski
January 27, 2009
If you're an advanced skiier I would recommend the 185 especially if you can get a good deal on them. If you're not advanced then I would say the 177cm. Personally I would go with the 185cm if I were your size, I'm an advanced skiier though and love big skis. They give more stability and float/bust through crud and soft snow better

Sorel Caribou Boot - Men's
December 22, 2008
I'm pretty sure they don't make the Cream colored soles anymore actually. I had an old pair that was the same model as your husband's it sounds like. They've moved to the black soles on most of their Caribou models. Does he need a new boot or just a new liner? I know we (Backcountry.com) have the felt liners for sale.
