so i just got my axial 2 ti 120 today and i didnt order the model with lifters but they gave me lifters anyways. i was wondering if i should use the lifters or not use the lifters. i know it lets u get better edge to edge but wat about for powder? i know for park its better to have no lifter.  i ski about 45% powder 45% all mountain and 10% park. wat would u do lifters or no lifters and y?

I originally had the lifters on the same bindings, then late in the season took them off.  rails are a bit more comfortable but overall i think i like the lifters (i ski 50/50 park/all mountain)

you aren't doing that much park anyways so keep the lifters.

All Rossi/Look come with some sort of lifters. If they say "Lifter" on the box then you've got the higher lifters. If you've got the non "Lifter" ones then you can mount with only the toe lifters so that the ramp is less aggressive, or with none at all. Make sure your guy shortens the screws though.

lifters make the binding taller on the ski. you can get up higher on your edge and you can carve sharper without scrapping the ground with your boot.
