Hey,

 I have been looking at the Nordica Ace of Spades gear and thinking about trying to get a pair for the next season. I'm about 6'1" and 200 lbs, and wondering how they ride, the pros and cons of them from people that have them.

 Thanks in advance.

This also includes the Dead Money and Double Six set ups. All advice/suggestions/comments will be appreciated.

Sorry about all the post myself, but I just realized that I missed a some info. I'm from Quebec, and ski mostly park since the rest of the mountain I ski at is pretty boring, although I will ski powder whenever its available. I'm an advanced skier, and the jumps in the park are usually around 30-50 feet depending on the year. After re-checking the Nordica site,  I have eliminated the Dead Money set since the skis aren't long enough for me. I would probably order in the 177 range.

thanks for the info. how much were they? the site says something 700 or 750$ and that seems quite high for a boot.

That's normal for a high end boot. The dalbello il Moro t's retail for over 900 I think. And if youre 6'1 200 lbs I would go a little longer than 177, maybe like in the 182 range

ok, and what exactly is the difference between the ace of spades and the double six besides the colors? because as far as i can see, they are the same stuff with different patterns and the double six are way cheaper.

PS. which bindings are suggested for these skis? Markers?

Double six is softer, with a cheaper liner.
