Thanks everyone, for your help choosing new skis and bindings for this year. I'd been skiing on Atomic Centuries (I'm sure they were fine) with Dynafit Rad bindings for the last several years, and had the suspicion I just wasn't transferring enough power from feet to skis, though these AT bindings.
Well. I cannot tell you how much BETTER my new set up feels. It's like I'm a different skier! Situations that felt tricky, don't feel tricky! My skis feel like an extention of my feet, no extra power needed!!! The Birdies float and fly and carve, nimble through tight spots and soar through open bowls, and the Shifts...Well. I imagine they are the REAL reason I feel so great. Maybe any alpine-oriented binding would be better than what I had going on, but these feel GREAT. I just feel so 'zippy', all the time, on my skis, and I just didn't feel that way on my previous set up! Oh, wait, also--I have new boots!!!! Settled on the Tecnica Cochise 105s, and they feel awesome---they hug my feet, and don't hurt, and...YES!!!
So, thanks guys, and thanks to ME for going into debt to buy these new toys, because they make skiing that much more fun!!!! Hope everyone is having a great season!!
