nerdom Pooh-Bah * Registered: 09/07/01 Posts: 2483 Loc: Davis Sq., MA	I've heard great things about the latest Burton S-series, with the Voile interface (Burton apparently made the wise decision to get out of that game, since Voile had already perfected it), as far as rigidity goes. Of course, at about $900-$1000, I'm not ready to go there yet. I'll make due with snowshoes for the time being (out outpaced my buddies who were on skis & skins once the going got even mildly steep; they were much faster on the flats). _________________________ we're all living proof that nothing lasts

Either get something like a Karhu Meta and use soft snowboard, boots, or rip the binding off the Meta install Dynafit toepieces and go on an Alpine Touring boot. You will probably want the stiff sole of the AT boot sooner or later if you are booting up or down technical terrain out west.
