i actually have the k2 extremes (08) and i love them. but i've seen a lot of people bash the schizofrantic bindings. are they really as bad/cheap as everyone says on here? because i definitely wouldn't want my brother getting some and having them fall apart on him

he knows how to ski, but he never had long skis. i was wondering if maybe like 165-171 would be alright for him?

if your really on a budget i would say go for bluehouse skis, however i would highly reccomend k2 revivals or domains. check out backcountry and evo for decent prices on them

165 is too small i think. my skis are 164s and im 5"2. also, i have extremes w/ griffon schizos and i have no complaints. i've heard negative things about schizo bindings, but i havent had any problems.
