Gear owned: Wildcat 108, Shift bindings, Look Pivots 14.

I like really playful skis, easy to slash and pivot, great for trees and bumps. I am an East coast skier but frequently travel west. I also do some touring.

I am looking to buy one more set of skis and want opinions on which bindings to mount on each set.

Thanks!

Do you want something narrower? What kind of riding do you do? Do you ride any park? What about your height and weight? Whats the main thing you are looking for in a ski?

6 feet. ~ 190 lbs. Nothing narrower than 104 underfoot. I am not really a park skier but will do an occasional park lap or two. I love skiing trees, bumps, and being able to flick skis around easily. I'm not a hard charger and digging trenches like a slalom racer is not my style. I am looking for a freestyle oriented ski, not a directional ski. The key is playful with taking touring into account at least a little.

I'm personally pretty bias toward the Jeffery line from ON3P. I'd say the 108 or 116 would be tits for you. They will be more playful than the Wildcats. If you have the cash they do customs with a tour lay up now or a 50/50 tour lay up which sounds like its made for you. There is a reason that everyone recommends them on here. I didn't believe the hype until I got a pair and now I'm addicted.

So I'd assume you would put the shifts on the wildcats 108 and the pivots of the jefferies since they are way heavier. Unless I got the tour set up jefferies...

I have 2 pairs of k2 marksman Ik they are being replaced by the reckoner series but you might find a deal. I have touring bindings on one pair and park on the other but they can really do anything. Float and turn great in pow, super fun in the spring. Nice in the park also. Great 1 ski quiver. A little hard for slow speed and small butters but still butterable
