You are venturing off the edge into variable conditions, so you will need a softer ski, one that won't give you too many surprises, and one that will turn easily, not a straight line supertanker :mrgreen: It will give you some extra float with the 78 waist and with the length you have chosen should hold it's line rather well. My 2p's worth, but what do I know, I'm just a punter same as everyone else :lol: |

I'd go for the Axium's as well. Unlike Ross, I think the Patrol will be a perfect 1st off piste ski for you.
Make certain the bindings have the correct DIN range for you, and that the brakes are wide enough for that ski! |

Sorry Ross, for me the devil is in the detail, and I always read the small print these days. Insurers are generally in this lark to make money, and not hand it out :roll: If you are within a certain number of days of purchase, there is a legal "cooling off period" if the policy is not what you need. |

This is how they define off piste.....from their website pdf
Here's me doing summat "Dogtag" call Extreme..... :mrgreen: ie: I'm outside the resort area boundary, not on a ski slope or an itinerary, I'm on touring kit, and no ski patrollers will check the slope. Radical eh :D 
On my way to lunch at the Hotel Weisshorn :D |

Rosss I'm just not keen on the Dogtag groupings for cover off piste. To get any kind of Comprehensive "no nit picking" cover I would have to buy the Extreme package. Not really my thing ) |

Reads like quite a good price for Worldwide cover. My last years' cover was £199 for Europe.

Agreed on the Duct Tape :D It's leaky Head boots too :roll: |

For Atomic and Lange, you might try contacting cem on here by PM. He does warranty assessment for both companies AFAIK |
