Greetings. Looking for a 90 underfoot for sierra tours and hut trips in the Alps. I’m 175# and 6’. Thinking 171 movement alp tracks to keep the weight down. I have volkl objectives at 171 length 80 underfoot and they ski great. Just thinking a little more ski for bigger mountains. What do you think? Too short or just right ?
6/3/2022
Hi Paul. Being that you have the Objective in the 171cm length, I think the 178 in the Alp Tracks might be the better choice. The shorter length at 170cms will allow for easier kick turns and jump turns in tight couloirs. The longer ski will be more stable at speed, better skiing in soft, and more versatile overall given your height. Hope that helps.

Thanx for your response. More modern feel, you say, in what way does it change the skifeeling? Hope they do have a good bite on hard snow. Do you know the setback? Was thinking AT 95 would do fine, but I saw the setback is less.

Hey Erik, I probably should say a more modern shape. The tip and tail shape and taper are new.
Ski Feeling, in the later generations they have changed the carbon fiber layup and added a thicker mounting plate (mostly eliminated the issues in that area). So they are a damper, less deflective ski than those earlier models.
Set back. Wasn't sure, checked with the shop. So Movements recommended mount line is further back than Chord center than many other skis. They still do that. I've been on the AT 100 for years and ski on many demos. I feel Movements "back" position skis just fine as it is and we don't recommend people have their skis mounted forward.
The AT 95 is quite nice. Still an All-mountain design, but they ski powder like a wider ski.

Hi. Been skiing my Movement Response-X in 5 years now. 188 cm/82 kg. Looking to replace them whith some new in the same gender...but whith some more "heavy feeling", short radius. Need good setback as my old Movement. Will be my preseson and springski....not a powderski. Think alptracks 90 will do fine, what else do you think I could try??
4/5/2022
Erik, The Alp Tracks 90 is a couple of updates from your Response X ski. Just ever so slightly different shape, they will have a bit more modern feel to them.
By Heavy Feeling, do you mean more Damp?
For a heavier, stiffer ski that would be good in variable early and last season snow, check out Dynafits offering Blacklight 88.

I’m planning to start ski mountaineering this spring in Colorado, and I’m hoping you can help me with sizing for a designated spring ski mountaineering setup. I’m 6’7, 215 lbs. Everything I’m reading suggests this type of setup should be less than 180 length and 85 width, but I haven’t seen any suggestions for someone my height. Would I be better off with a 177-179 length and 85 width? Or should I go longer (which would mean going up to 90+ width)?
3/10/2022
Thanks for reaching out, Kyle. Sizing is person-dependent, but typically going about -10/15cm from your height may be a good reference point. Because no mountaineeringesque ski will be over 190cm (to my knowledge), going with a ski in the mid 180's may be your best option. In terms of width, I would say that many folks are happy 90mm and narrower.

My early impressions are nothing but positive. Stupid light, for sure but I was stunned at how well they skied powder recently. The added stiffness seems to create a ride that has a much higher speed limit than my go-to powder ski, the DPS Wailer 99 Tour 1. I'm excited to get them on firmer, higher stakes terrain but so far they rock. I even smacked a few rocks and there was nary a scratch. Definitely a candidate for the quiver of one.
