just wandering if this was a fun setup.
Last years k2 shreditor 102s (177)
The Salomon ghost 80s
And the marker squire schizo binding

I way 135 pounds and I'm 6 ft tall.
I'm in intermediate skier. And I enjoy skiing the whole mountain and some park. Thanks

IMO skis and boots are dope (find a boot that fits, not whats cheap or sounds right. go to a shop and get fitted, its the most important part of a setup), But i would get a more burlier binding. Had squires last season and they blew up on me coming out switch, and went through 4-5 brakes and I'm light and short. Id go for attack adrenalines or honestly just attack 13s. If you do some touring a good amount then they may be worth it, but if you just ski casual pow go without the adrenaline and mount around -2cm back

All those "park" boots that have 80 flexes are a joke. They are so dam soft, and when you get very aggressive or on steep terrain its obvious how poorly they perform.

Pivots are a bitch to step into in deeper and rough snow, and adjusting the tuen table in them sucks. When you already have a heavier ski for pow and variable snow, its best to go with a light weight binding as well.

I ski a lot of pow in ak and I still use em for everything, but i definitely understand where you are coming from, for me though the pros outweigh the cons

Do you want a binding that performs well when you're actually skiing, or a binding that performs well when you are getting ready to ski?

Both haha, which what the Attack 13 is. I think its just a better binding for his needs. Not sure why everyone thinks pivots are so superior, I like mine but won't stick to them my whole life.
