Congrats! Time to go for the Dukes. Top of the line ski deserves a top of the line binding. Endorphins were on Tramdock too this morning for about 420.
Just to chime in on Intuition liners, I don't have first hand experience on them but I've heard nothing but praise plus they keep you feet toasty.

Sold. Go with the Barons and mount 'em up. Don't forget to get some skins too. See ya at Magic!
You'll have to show me the proper way to tour Magic. Looking forward to getting back up there.

They're too long for him, me on the other hand...

Bah... you don't even like the Lines I bought you.
That's because I can't go enormous on them... :roll:

i'm hoping to get 1 or 2 days on them before the seasons wraps. makes a day trip to vt more and more likely.

Grassi, with a set up like this, you have to end your season with a rite of initiation -- Tuckerman Ravine!
That would take some creative scheduling on my part, but it is a slight possibility.
had the goats mounted today. took 'em out for a bit this evening on the sundown groomers and in the bumps. great ski. very pleased with my purchase. can't wait to try them in some pow. 
The ski on the right is 67 underfoot. The goats are 105.

So are you glad you went for the extra length? I know there weren't ideal conditions for checking that... just curious about your first impressions.
I'm glad I went bigger. The only time I felt like they were too long or that I wasn't able to turn them quick enough was where the bumps get a bit steeper on Gunny. But that will get better in time as I get a better handle on the ski and bump field. I scored 2nd tracks on a freshly groomed Gunny. I was hauling ass. When I got them on edge I could feel the ski whipping me through the turn and into the next one. Not sure if I explained that feeling accurately. They were super stable at speed. For a ski so fat I was really impressed in what it did on the groomers. Just need some pow round out my opinion on them.
PS - I took them in the Ex bumps a bunch of times. I was super impressed at how well they did in the bumps.

To a degree, yes. But the proper tool for the job helps, too.it is the skier, not the skis!
Glad they're working out for you, Grassi! I didn't think the length would be a problem but I had to ask. Hmmm... Don't you have the same BSL as I do? Maybe I should give them a spin sometime.
