For this reason, all skis in this series have side edges ground at 89° and base edges ground between 0.5° and 0.8°.  The base is finished with a CNC stone grind to give it a micro structure.  Precision base grinding and edge bevels are combined for exceptional performance.   ·                Matching Serial Numburs - of course!     Freeskier Magazine Buyer's Guide The P4 returns for 2009 unchanged with the exception of a graphic makeover. It's a "daily workhorse" that performs with style in all conditions, on all runs."   Ski Magazine – Gold Medal Award, 2008 Emergent Scott again impressed testers with its deep-snow know-how. The P4's sidecut is as modest as its price, and two sheets of Titanal give it integrity, but a forgiving flex yields an easy feel-soft in the tip, so it never dives in deep stuff, but progressively firmer under foot. Yes, it's a full twin-tip, and youthful Scott positions it as a "big-mountain jibber," but that seems like a waste for a ski that's so energetic and capable in any big-mountain, soft-snow situation. "It's at ease anywhere on the hill," said Couperthwait. "Push it hard or just relax and ride it."   SKIING Gear Guide The P4 breaks up crud (thanks to twin layers of Titanal inside), butters through powder, and performs best when skied fast.  Plus, an intuitive, natural turner through junk; easy to swing around through technical spots.  Tester's Take: "A forgiving ski that can gas it when stepped on."     New Salomon Z12 Ti Freestyle/Freeride Ski Bindings - 115mm Brakes Don’t be confused – this is the top-of-the-line Titanium version of the Z12 that Salomon uses in their best ski packages.  And it comes in a nifty “dark chrome.”   Not only is the Salomon Z12 Ti binding the lightest on the market but it also has the stiffest toe wings.     Salomon has always been in performance bindings. The Z series bindings improves lateral rigidity, maintain optimum shock absorption, and decrease the overall weight of the binding system through the use of space-age carbon injected components.  As compared to the Salomon S9 and S8 series bindings, the Salomon Z bindings transfer power better and offer better on snow feel, while maintaining the same levels of safety.   Salomon Z series uses carbon injected housing which makes the body of the binding stiffer.  Long wings increase the contact zone with the boot for better transmission.  Salomon has also created the Salomon Control Pedal or SCP to make the binding more rigid for improved performance. The Z12 Ti binding from Salomon is now the stiffest binding available on the market.  It is the only toe stiffer than the Rossignol Axial Bindings.  The Z series bindings also have a Automatic Wing Adjustment.   Features:  - High Lateral Transmission  - SCP (Salomon Control Pedal)  - Automatic Wing Adjustment  - Vertical progressive pivot  - DIN 4-12  - List: $330   100% Feedback - buy with confidence!  -  Thanks for looking!       Please read carefully before bidding on this item - by bidding on the item you agree to: I understand that skiing and snowboarding are HAZARDOUS sports which present risks of injury or death, and I freely and voluntarily assume those risks.   I understand and agree that certain risks of skiing and snowboarding may be reduced, but not entirely eliminated, by taking lessons, by following "YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CODE" which is posted at most winter sports areas and by using care and common sense.
