The one ski just not there is it???!! The 2 ski set up would cover everything for me while I wait for technology to make that ONE ski.

A lot of good advice all around, thanks. I just about had it figured out with the 78s until I read about the added camber. I don't think 199s will be a good match for me.

Thanks for the replies! I haven't bought new skis in over 10 years. I don't visit the resorts anymore and don't do any serious back country. I live in Alaska and just like to ski the river beds and trails. I also will ski the XC groomed trails out of tracks to the ski hill for a few turns. Understan...

I am looking at buying the Madshus Glitterind (last Years Model) I didn't see it in their 2016-2017 line up. This will be used as a out my back door ski with a few turns on some hills. I will be mounting a 3 pin setup with some Alico 75mm boots. I am a strong intermediate skier (XC and Tele) My ques...
