FYI - Backcountryoutlet.com has a 50% off sale until the end of the month, just got word via email.

within 5 minutes, I purchased a pair of Dalbello Krypton Pros for $375, down from $413.

PSYCHED!!!

So which one are you more excited about.... the engagement or the Kryptons? If it was me answering, I would take the 5th.

I just bought a pair of Nordica Blowers from www.tramdock.com for $324 including free shipping. They are a 193 and will be awesome for the Rockys and the occasional East Coast poe day..and Deep Crud. For a ski with 110mm underfoot they have a decent sidecut with a 25m turning radius..so perfect for huge GS Poe turns..anyway now I just have to wait 4 months to try them..

I'm excited to ski these things in deep choppy crud as well..

nice

I wonder what the benefit is of having two websites. tramdock and backcountry are the exact same stores. Looks like you gotta nice deal. 193's are BIG these days, but will probably treat you great in what you're looking to ski them in.

I thought about the 185 but on my 182 Rossi Scratch BCs..I wish I was on longer skis most of the time for steezier speed. I feel more stable on a longer ski...My Atomic LT11s are a 170 and they are redonkulously short but serve a different purpose..O.K. time to find an ice coast carver..less than 75mm underfoot...wow life was alot simpler when I had a pair of 195 Pre M-5As...LMBFAO..
