My Skiing

Moved to Utah in 1979 and ski bummed at Snowbird for TOO long. But I quickly realized that untracked powder didn't exist long at the resorts and got my first Tele setup in 83. Been skiing backcountry since. Slow to the AT gear, but Skimo changed that. Style is slowly evolving from the Hippy powder turns to willing to open it up on occasion. Finally getting into touring in the Spring too.

My Gear

First AT setup is Spectres and Wailer 112 Pures with Radical ST 2.0. Heavy, but work very well at Alta on Powder days.
Now on Alien RS (size 26) Movement Alp Track 100 with Ski Trab Titan Vario.2.
Spring setup - Ski Trab Magico.2 171cm and Titan Vario.2 of course.

Brendan, Black Crow doesn't have a name for their system, so we made one up. They aren't using Hoji's name as he designs for Dynafit.

Beth, The newer ZG96 is still very similar in shape to the 95. So yes, the ZG96 skin will work with your ski.

Jaakko, according to the manufacturers, the Hoji will only work with MNC bindings.

Cale, Thats a big question. If you are talking about just skiing steep and firm conditions, a narrower ski would be better. With a longer turn radius (less sidecut). I've skied these, and they are great in powder and variable snow, and fine on firm conditions. If you are looking for an all-around ski, maybe look at the TX 94. On our Ski mountaineering page, we list skis from 77-85mm wide. For something wider, the Head Crux 93 is very light and really holds an edge. If you want to get into this more...

Andrew, The LTR 105 / Superlight 150 will be the right one
