Backcountry skiing Colorado powder.

    Hi Louie,

    Are those the 08/09 FT10′s? Just interested how they compare to the “old” woodcore FT10.

    Nice picture!

    AJ,

    Those are the first model, (2006 I think). I did ski the new ones in Europe, and did not notice much of a difference in terms of the skiing. However, the ones I skied had a reinforced plate under the binding area, so they were a little heavier.
