If going with the flat ski version of the Spitfire 80, what binding would you guys put on there? I know the SkiEssentials guys mentioned a Pivot 18, but what would be some other options that might work well?
Our latest review on Chairlift Chat is the 2020 Fischer RC One 86 GT! We're all pretty darn impressed by these new skis. Definitely takes the Pro Mountain skis to the next level.

This week on Chairlift Chat we take a closer look at the 2019 Nordica Soul Rirder 97. I (Jeff) spent a lot of time on this ski last winter. It's a super fun daily driver for anyone looking for a versatile and playful all mountain ski. Not quite Enforcer-level power or stability, but a very...

With your minimalist day pack, you’ll have what you need for a day on the hill and trail. You won't have to head back to the lodge or lot to shed a layer, swap out goggles for sunglasses, or fuel up for the afternoon. The Micro Pack is a super-low-profile, lift-friendly, lightweight pack...
Longtime sponsor @SkiEssentials is having a sale on two under-the-radar skis, the Blizzard Brahma SP and Nordica NRGy 85 R. These skis will prove difficult to research, because they are not “in line” skis, which means they are not in the catalogs, in regular product mixes, or on a ski shop's...

We're already looking forward to the 2019 Ski Test, which we plan on...
