I got a pair of marker jesters on my czar's i bought last year. STH also good recommendation....just remember the binds gotta fit the fat underfoot. Most stock brakes are around 70 or 80 mm and these skis are 111mm underfoot!

Very similar, mostly cosmetic changes. Still solid bindings

Most Certainly. The cable just plugs right into the same hole that the headphones go into.

According to POC's sizing chart you would fall in right at the high end of the M size range.

The DIN might a bit low...but that really depends on your weight and how hard you charge. Also make sure you can get brakes that are wide enough to fit the JJs since they are a little wider than the average ski.

Get the jesters...it will be worth it, unless of course the difference of cost is to huge for you. But personally I think you will be much happier with the jesters.

If they havent already been released this year it wont happen until next year. Companies release all of their stuff for the winter at the same time.

Yes there is a volume control, its in the form of one of those old school type wheels that you spin. Its located on silver thing that is part of the audio cable. Hope that helps.

Depends on what you are gonna use them for. If you are gonna use them in the powder a lot I would go with the 179s for sure. But if you want to get a good discount, maybe go with a different ski and get the right size.

you can buy 110mm or 130mm brakes but they are around $50. In the past marker has sold bindings with the larger brakes already on the bindings...but I dont know if they do that with this years models.

Well from reading the description it appears it is. "•Includes knit liner for snow use" so since it can be used for "Skiing, snowboarding, biking, skating, kayaking, BMX " it seems like it almost has to be removable.

Yeah these would be a great choice...unless you want a DIN of 16 then go with the Marker Jesters.

YES

Yes, people will be able to see your eyes.

I have a pair of crowbars and love them...they never fog up and in my opinion the ventilation on the crowbars is great. I would recommend these goggles. Plus the T-Hall graphics is awesome on these.

I personally love the marker royal family in particular the marker griffons(DIN 12) are great and if you need a higher DIN go with the Jesters(16DIN) but exteremly similar to the griffons.

The big question is will this be the only ski he uses...I would get these skis(elizabeths) if its the only ski he will be using since the underfoot is 110mm...however, if he will be using these new skis as powder skis get the sir francis bacons because they are more specialized for powder. Either way it should be a great ski...i have friends with both and love them. Also for bindings I would recommend either the marker griffons or jesters.

Just from a gut instinct I would say no the boot won't fit. However, if you have really small feet maybe. But just as a tip, you can carry boots on the outside of backpacks by looping straps of the pack through the boots or using a carabiner.

They prolly wont be very warm. Considering they are pipe gloves. The are a low profile design so they most likely have 0 insulation. So unless your hands are naturally warm i would not say these will keep you warm in anything below 15-20ish degrees .

I'm going to guess that that A-frame will fit better with this helmet. However, you might wanna consider getting the oakley crowbars... In the gear guru pic with the guy in the orange jacket. He is wear oakley crowbars and they seem to fit very well.

The really only significant difference between those three goggles is the shape of the frame. The lenses are going to be made of the same material. Also the A-frame and crowbars are slightly smaller than the wisdom. Thus those 2 are more helmet compatiable. Hope that helps.

Considering they are 94mm underfoot and they are rockered skis they should be pretty good in the powder. They arent gonna be as good as the fat 110/120mm underfoot skis. But they will do a hell of a better job compared to all mountain skis.

I found these bindings to be horrible in the park. I had them on a pair of volkl dogens and I kept prereleasing while riding switch. Going forward they a good bindings but they suck at switch riding but that is cause they arent designed to be riden switch.

The le comptes are 80mm underfoot right? So then you need the 90mm breaks.

I have a pair of the marker griffons on my armada t-halls and just love them. Super durable and not flimsy. I have already over 50 days on my griffons and still as good as new. Even though there is a fair amount of plastic the important parts are metal. When you click into them they fell really solid.

Yeah go with the 176...a little longer is usually best in pow.

Marker Griffons but make sure you get brakes that are wide enough...they are 115mm under foot.

Marker griffons with the 110mm brake.

Seems a little big in my opinion. I am 6'2 and 80kg and my park skis are 168cm. I would say get the 162s unless you really expect her to grow a few more inches or put on a lot of weight. As for bindigns I really like the marker royal family. For you daughter the marker griffon would be a solid choice. They are great in the park and super durable.

Well considering you are most likely a park skier...the logical answer would be the 4FRNT TNK since it is really the only park ski that backcountry has in stock.

In my opinion it they will be less clumsy since they are shorter. The only thing that the width really changes is how long it takes to change from one edge to another...but its not a huge difference. But they will ski way differently from your race skis. As for great in all conditions....(is there such a ski, cause i want it then). In most conditions this ski should do well. But it should do great on groomers and moguls should be easier cause the ski is shorter. And it should do pretty well in powder. It won't have the float of a 120mm under foot but it will still be a lot better than narrow race skis in powder.

I am personally biased towards the marker griffons or jesters...have both and love them. Get the griffons if you want a max din of 12 and the jesters if you want a max din of 16.

Depends on how big the sleeping bag is...maybe try and find out what the volume of the sleep bag is.

If you like spinning short will prolly be a little better. Plus you still should have plenty of float in the pow with the 175 length.

Crowbars are the way to go...or the new Oakley splices should work too since they are extremely similar to the crowbars.

Have you considered trying to find a local shop with the helmet so that you can try it on? At the very least try and locate an other giro helmet and try those on and see what size fits. Generally the same manufacture has all of their helmets fit the same.
If you cannot do that...it seems like the sizing chat would suggest you get a medium(55-59cm).

Given that your nephew is 75pounds I probably recommend the 125cm long board. That puts him right in the middle of the recommend weight range(50-95pounds)--I personally like it when I am towards the high weight range. This also still gives him about 20 to grow. If you think he will be growing a lot and won't be buying a new board when he gets to 95ish pounds. Maybe go with the 131(65-120pounds). He will still be within the weight range. Be ideally go with the 125cm. Hope that helps :)

Yeah, I got my variant brim a few days ago and I tried it on with my crowbars and the fit pefectly. The shape of the tope crowbars almost fits the shape of the helment.

the most likely reason they suggest that is that the board rides as if it were a 1-2cm longer than it actually is. This could be because the board is rockered. Or it could be that they made the board a little wider which increase the surface area of the board and thus if the board is bought short the surface area is about the same. Hope that helps.

No, it doesnt have an removal internal liner...aka gloves inside the gloves.

It really depends on how hard you charge...you might wanna go with the jesters so that you can have a DIN of 16 but they are practically the same as the griffons except more metal and a higher din.

You can get marker royal family bindings with brakes that are 130mm wide. So either the griffons or jesters or baron or duke. You might have to purchase the 130mm brakes separately though.

the shop prolly tuned them and in the process unrockered them. GO YELL AT THAT SHOP... IDOITS

marker griffons hands down

Great price...doubt these bindings will ever be on tramdock...maybe in the middle of summer. but not in the next few months

Jesters are the way to go...if you arent gonna be charging super hard the griffons might also work fine. But if you want something with a din of above 12 the jester is prolly the best option. As for price...look around for a pair from last year...they didnt change anything but the color, or at most insignificant things.

I have a pair of griffons on my armada t-halls and they are rock solid bindings. If you want it to snap when you get into your bindings...you will get this. They are super bindings in my opinion. I used to have some marker free 11s(i think that is what they were called). and they were like how you described your old bindings. The griffons are nothing like that.

Personally I think there are better park skis out there...but if this is what you want go for it. A 162 seems like it would be a pretty good size. Maybe a tad small, but that isnt the end of the world. Btw, which mountain do you ski at...my home mountain is Tyrol Basin.

I'm not sure if they fit. but marker makes brakes that are 130mm wide specifically for the jesters which you need to fit over the hellbents. It looks like backcountry.com is currently out of them...but they do exists and are purchasable.

It will be tight. but ask your shop if they can bend them a tiny bit to make them fit.

NO you dont need to be a pro skier. I have many friends that ride these skis at my local hill in wisconsin and they are most def not pros...the only difference between these skis and a normal park ski is that Jon Olsson has his name on them and he chose the graphic. These skis will be just fine for you.

If you can, go to an actual shop and try the boots on. Boots are super important and if they arent comfy snowboarding is gonna suck.

Pipe gloves are generally not that warm since the try to be as slim as possible. Unless you really like the look or are actually using them pipe gloves for the intended purpose I wouldn't recommend them. And since you are wondering about the temp. rating its seems like other gloves would prolly be a better option. Hope that helps.

I would go with the pink iridium merely since its recommended usage is for flat to medium bright. Its not gonna be perfect in the super flat light or super bright light but it will work fine in those conditions. Plus I think the pink iridium with the lava sky block frame is a sick goggle.

I'm personally impartial to marker bindings...specifally the griffons and the jesters. I have both and just love them. The griffons and jesters both can be bought with wider brakes...which you need with the 96mm under food. The only difference signifcant differance between the bindings are that the jesters have a DIN of 16 and the the griffons have a 12. Enjoy your Mantras...they are sick skis

yeah other lenses are available...maybe not always on this site. but somewhere it should be available.

Sensor Mirror, the other lenses do not allow nearly as much light through the lenses.

Height is not always the most important determining factor in what length ski you should get. I would prolly say get teh 179s, but that is assuming you are of a normal body weight and normal build. Also how hard to you ski. I have a friend who is about your height(178cm) and he skiied obsetheds 2 years ago and used aroud a 180 ski length and loved his setup.

I dont think they make a wide version of this board. The burton site doesnt have a wide board version of the method.

if you have enough money to buy this board, why dont you just buy a park board? Just a suggestion. Maybe buy a park board for 500 and an other board for 1000. Just my 2 cents.

For next time you might wanna include height, weight and maybe age. So, Im not sure if a large would be okay. But going 1 size big is usually not the worst thing, it gives more room for layers and loose cut is a popular style currently.

Just doing the math, it seems like each of the six sections would be about 38ish cm long since all 6 sections together are 230cm.

Just for future reference, you can find that piece of information in the "tech specs" box. If you look at dimensions it is 150/122/141mm. The middle number is the width of the ski under foot. The two other numbers are the widths at the widest point of the tip and tail.

Marker griffons or jesters...depending if you want a din of 12 or 16 respectively.

You have to buy the 130mm brakes that marker sells. I think they are about $50...yeah I know, complete rip off. Some stores sell the binding with the 130mm brake already on so look around cause then you dont have to pay the 50 bucks. Have fun on the bents...they are sick skis. I got a pair this summer and cant wait to use them.

yeah the din of 12 should be fine. I im about 6'2 and 180 and i have my din at 10. okay im not the biggest park ripper in the world. I still get pretty scared about jumps that are over 30 feet. But I have never had this binding release prematurely. Highly recommend it and the other guy is right...your knees will thank you, plus you want your skis to pop off if you slam hard.

Yeah it carries a snowboard, and its a vertical carry. Just look in the little box with all the "tech specs"

Just take it to a good shop and they should bend the brakes for you. If the shop doesnt do it find a better shop. I have run into shops that refuse to bend brakes, so make sure you have a shop that will do it.

It more depends on how much you weigh...I am6'2 and about 180 and i ride last years 189s

Unfortunately this ski isnt in stock anymore...but you might wanna hit up the website newschoolers(I hope you already have an account, if not get one asap) the forums there will have a lots of good info on skis. Plus if you hit up the "gear talk" forum and start a thread like this you will get lots of help finding a ski. Hope you get something ski and kill it out in utah.

Yeah you should be able to ride them just fine on a groomed piste. However, it is a fairly fat ski underfoot(97mm) which is getting really close to FAT ski widths. It just will ski a little different then normal groomer skis. As for riding switch...it will work, but it isnt a symmetrical ski so riding switch will not be as good as with more symmetrical skis. Hope that helps

Im pretty sure the gold iridium is mirrored...I would check the oakley site since they prolly have more information on their own lenses.

Snow is bound to get up your jacket on powder days...it happens with every jacket except for like one piece suits. This jacket has a powder skirt, which will help keep snow out of your jacket...as long as you don't fall and have the jacket ride up. This jacket will be just about as good as any other ski jacket since all have extremely similar powder skirts.

I would say go with the large. The burton AK stuff isnt cut large because its more performance orientated. I am 6'2 myself and I would buy a L or XL. For sure dont go with medium it will be too small.

I believe this hat has faux fur solely due to the price. Also 99.9% of gear has faux fur nowadays. Also look at the materials list its 60% wool and 40% polyester. Hope that helps
