Seven Summit Superlights are very stable and carve hard snow very well! This is my new volcano ski (Cascade volcanos). Last week i skied my new Seven Summit Superlight 178 on hard piste while skiing with my family. Some have commented that 178 is short for my height/ weight, but it is plenty for me. Glad that I have them. I also have the Seven Summit, it is softer and likely better in soft snow, but my Manaslu is even better in soft snow... Cool jeff!

I weigh less than you and am only 5'7" and I ski the seven summits in 170! Still prefer a wider ski for anything approaching powder snow, but in spring snow or routes with over 1500m vertical the seven summits rock. If you got the Dynafit speed skins you won't be disappointed! Blimey Jeff that’s short! I weigh less than you and am only 5′7″ and I ski the seven summits in 170!

Mounted they weigh 5.5 lbs. I am 5' 11" and 165 pounds. My usual ski is a BD kilowatt 155 with dynafit tlt speeds. I ski a Scarpa F3 boot. I ski just about everything except for hucks that involve leaving the ground. Winter in the Sierras and then spend 5 to 6 weeks ski touring in the French and Swiss Alps. Skied the seven summits yesterday at Squaw and I am amazed at how well they skied everything, from untracked, to soft avy debris to firm avy bed surface. They also turn very fast on steep terrrain. They are my new toruing setup. Now waiting until tomorrow to head out and see how the Dynafit skins function! For those of you who have not experienced the "once you go short and fat you'll never go back" philosophy open your mind a give it a try. You might be very pleasantly surprised. See ya and let's hope for more winter everywhere! Just got a pair of the dynafit seven summits superlight in a 156, mounted them with dynafit low tech race bindings. Mounted they weigh 5.5 lbs.

I got the G3 alpinist skin( which I really like) however the clips do not fit over the plastic tip piece so I am debating, shaving down said piece until clips fit or, removing it, epoxying around tip to limit delam potential and calling it good. Any thoughts or other ideas? Thanks Lou.hoping this is a good spot for this question: I’m on to a new pair of skins for my Dynafit FR 10 ( first generation).
