Hi BlackBird, I appreciate the quick response. Makes sense that 156 length would work better, particularly for tight couloir turns. Appreciate the shout-out to Volkl (great brand), but I am hesitant to go narrower than 98-100 width for backcountry as I see varible conditions much too often *sad face* :)
I am 5'3 and currently have Atomics 107 in 159 cm which I really enjoy in most conditions, but find it a bit much for multiday back-to-back adventures and harder to control with Scarpa F1 boots in heavy snow (they pair much nicer with Scarpa Gea RS and are absolutely lovely for shorter days). So I am on the fence about Atomic 101 length as I am between 156 and 164 sizes. Would 156 size work better with F1s but will they be too short for me? For reference, my prior bc ski was Camox Freebird in 161 length ...
Got this liner to replace the packed out stock liners on Dynafit Carbonio TLT7. Works great, great fit and a bit thicker than the original liner.
Went with Palau Lite Pro Evo as per recommendation and they fit great! Huge improvement over stock liners. Thanks!
Used them for one season. I think these will be alright for skinning up the resort and carving groomers, as well as cross country touring (like Grand Traverse or similar). Skis are light and stiff. However, as actual skis for spring skiing objectives they do not perform well. They are too light for variable conditions and not responsive or predictable. They underperform in powder being so narrow. I am much happier on a different ski.
