Gabriel, I guess I was thinking something more along the lines of the more progressive the mount point, the more ski tail I have to work around when making kick turns. I have a pair that has just a few cm too long of a tail that always gets in the way when planting that first foot on steep slopes.

Looking at this ski over the Hyper V6 as a backcountry daily driver that could handle just about any condition\terrain I come across while out on a tour (faces, trees, chutes) and is easy to ski without having to really give it much thought, and what I am hearing is that this is a great contender for that! Now comes the question of which size... I'm 6'2", 175-180lbs plus pack weight. Normally ski a 184-186 in bounds and am a fairly aggressive skier, but tone it back some in the backcountry. Debating between...
