pindude Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 (edited) For Sale: Atomic TM.EX 191-cm skis with Karhu 7TM automatic release bindings with 33-mm shims, brakes, and heel risers. Excellent, like-new condition. Retail list is $885 ($600 for skis, $285 for bindings); will sell for $550. Both ski and binding are current year (2002-2003 ski season) models. Skied 4x: all deep powder days (12" or more), 1 at resort, 3 in backcountry. I don't have to tell most of you teleheads, but am going to give the sales pitch anyway. Many consider this tele set-up as currently THE BEST one going for backcountry and all-mountain skiing, for all ability levels. Wide enough to float on top of not only powder but also breakable crust, crud, and cut-up, AND will also ski the resort piste (groomed). Ski dimensions are 117-84-109, further spec's: http://www.atomicsnow.com/ Bindings are releasable, and are much better than the old standard releasable Voiles--this binding set-up is the full-meal deal with all the accessories, further spec's: http://www.karhu.com/cgi-local/news2.pl?index=1 I'm very happy with the skis--they are the best sticks I've ever been on--but at my 195+ lbs. I am "in between sizes" according to Atomic, and have found I need the next size down (184) to turn more easily between tight trees, which is where I often like to ski. This tele set-up is the shizzy for a big boy or girl (205 lbs and up), from beginner to expert, who will match them up with good plastic boots to drive them.

David_Parker Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Pindude, I don't think you "need" to go shorter. I weigh 178 and ski 190 TM22's no problem. Maybe the risers are too high. Try shorter ones. I don't get this push for such short skis for tele. As they said in the 70's, "Short Skis Suck"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
