My Skiing

History: Alpine ski racing, early freestyle circuit, teaching, backcountry skiing, freeheel, ski mountaineering, mostly on heavy freeheel gear.

Currently ski backcountry and lift assist, prefer to backcountry for interesting downhill skiing. I like pretty much everything, but tour to turn. Like all kinds of snow from windpack to powder. I like to ski aggressively, but age dampens that a bit more year by year.

Goals are to continue to learn and enjoy skiing. 71 years old (as of Sept. 2024).

I have been skiing the circa 2015 K2 Coombacks, 189cm with much enjoyment, but need to lighten up for the backcountry these days. I'd also like a little quicker edge to edge experience. I friend that I very much trust told me I should check out the the Backland 95. I am 5'11"" and these days weigh about 185-190 during the winter. I am torn between the 177 and 185 sizes, leaning towards the 185, but never have skied on anything shorter than these Coombacks. I am trying to optimize these skiis for backcountry...
