Twin Tip
by whistlerpeek on Jul.17, 2010, under Visa Gold Medal Programme
Are twin tip skis okay on black diamonds and double blacks?
I’m planning on buying twin tip skis this season. I like to downhill ski (black and double black) and I also go to the park sometimes. I’m just wondering if the park twin tips would work if I were to use them for downhill skiing.Not really.
Well, you can. But I doubt you will be happy with that.
Things I noticed:
- Shorter park ski (for nimbleness), curved tail, and forward binding mounting shortens a great deal the effective edge in front, which matters most for speed and stability. So the ski does feel short, slow, and less stable on downhill.
- When carving, the timing and the pop feels different and, at times, the ski annoyingly flaps. Probably because of the foam core material, binding relocation, and different sidecut pattern. I cannot push it to pop too much and I had to get used to different timing and feel.
- Binding risers are good for carving but bad for freestyling. Having gotten used to carving with risers, without them I feel more vibrations on the feet. And I cannot carve as aggressively or I get booted out.
- Minor thing: Less carving capability tempts me to sharpen the edges but then sharp edges hook too much in the park. Kind of a dilemma, eh?
I say don’t get rid off your downhill skis. Get three pairs: park skis, downhill skis, powder skis. They are just different skis. 
Marker Bindings On Skis
by whistlerpeek on Jul.16, 2010, under Take a few Ski Lessons
Question about some older Marker bindings?
I just got my first pair of skis from a ski swap and they came with Marker 7.1 bindings. They also have written on the bindings “Selective Control”, “Biometric” and “Logic”. Anyways, at the toe of the binding is a lever that can be moved to a setting of 1, 2 or 3, and no one I talked to can figure out what it does. Anyone know what this setting is for?
Okay. Thanks for the info on the flex pattern. I did a little more research and found the 3 settings to be for “free flex under foot”, “resistance flex underfoot”, and “no flex underfoot”. Could I get a little more explanation on what these mean? As a beginner/intermediate skiing mostly on groomed runs, what setting should I use?That changes the flex pattern of the ski if I remember them right. It changed the tension on the mounting rail so the ski was softer or stiffer depending on what you preferred. I have a set on my rocks skis but they are in Seattle and I’m not.
This was about the same time period that ESS had their VAR binding on the market. The VAR would easily slide from one position to another from center to forward to back with the flip of a lever. This was in the mid 90’s. Lots of fun if someone grabbed your skis when you weren’t looking and moved one forward and one back.
I got this info from a forum at http://www.epicski.com/forum/thread/56819/marker-selective-control-bindings#post_728901
