This pretty much covers any big mountain setup you can imagine.

Does anyone know why those assholes at giro decided to discontinue the Flint SC, what a pain in the ass it is to find a black one in size medium on the net now.

fucking pain in the ass.

It isnt as protective as the mad max...but so much lighter and easier to wear.

yeah I agree, the madmax just feels funny, I'm sure it's a little more bombproof but I prefer a breakaway chinguard.

+5 for big mountain? nigga please

I knocked myself clean out on the street setup rail there yesterday, but the ski-doo lady was a bit goodlooking so i totally recommend it.

i personally would go bigger than 179 for an all mtn/pow ski, maybe like 182-189. i know, there isnt a 182 vicious, but the francis bacon comes out next year in a 183,so........

For just big mountain, I'd get some 193 LP's with p14's, those would be some kick ass skis.

I gave up trying to tell people that around the 1,000,000th time I saw somebody say how sick the Elizabeths were for big mountain.

Haha, just stick them on a pair of 193 supermojos, hike to the top of the gnarliest line you know, and give them a hefty push. They would soon realize that there is more to skiing than looking "cool."
