I did, but didn`t want to scroll through the twenty-eight + pages with a pen and paper to tally a result :p

So thought it might be good to have an actual poll as well

no worries we cant really give you crap when your new, that poll is long buried and was started because of the same reason you started this one. That other poll was started 3 years ago before we could do polls.

freeheel bindings. Looks a bit like cross country or used to before the gear went nuts. these days you get the best of both worlds free heel for climbing and lower body position so more face shots.

Quality! - Was wondering about those, seen them on the mountain, they look mental! I thought they were just one of the new types of skis - are they really different to use then?

The first few weeks are pretty hellish if your not a skiier already but once you get the hang of it, it goes off!! remeber helmet and knee pads cos when you go down, you go down hard.

From I have been reading in different mags it seems that randonee gear is far better for touring and climbing. I guess the cable restricts movement. Most of the Randonee races are being won by people on super light backcountry ski gear like the dynafit boot binding system.
