Solomon q98

Had a salomon pro form and my quiver was lacking a mid fat ski. I picked up the q98's with touring bindings, I forget what the salomon ones are called.

I haven't skied these before but I figured at 300 with bindings, seems silly not to cop them. This will be my first pair of skis that aren't twin tip ha.

Any suggestions for mounting/anyone rode these beasts? I'm probably going to grab some boots too.

Gracias.

Skied these in Canyons last year. If you get a plus 2 i find there perfect. There pretty poopy so you can still get switch pretty easily.
