This might be a dumb question but did you have them heat molded, and if so with toe caps for a little extra stretch?

Fixed for me too.people i need some help...
I currently ski on Volkl RTM84 177cm...Ihatethem,
tso darn heavy and long..
I'm 5'9 160 lbs, I alsoneedcould use a shorter mellower ski .. Something for theusual easternlake effects dump conditions....
Any thoughts??
They’re heavy but after ya get yer ski muscles going after they haven’t been used in awhile all ya just gotta do is stay on top them.
Thinking a touring setup would be fun.

I can't help you Jason...I still have 2.5 pair of Pre RTM AC 50s..Maybe I could use some help finding a new ski too. They may be heavy and stiff, but they get me out of trouble. I always know I have them under me.
Ya have 2.5 pair and yer looking for just one new ski Mr Suds?
There must be a story.

Head Kore 87 in 170 or 177. Extremely light yet holds on ice.
Here is a 177 for $480 Canadian = $352 US. I have used Corbetts multiple times with zero issues. They also have good prices on bindings. The whole Kore line is interesting.

Fischer RC One GT is another great one. My son has these in a 182.

I have had the MTNs heat molded twice with toe caps. Next time I go I will have them punched. Also had problems with the original liner. The fabric delaminated from the foam so they were replaced. They are fine for lapping the chair. I unbuckle when I’m not actively skiing. There’s no way I could tour more than a half day with them with my toes crushed and feet cold. Multi day tours would be out of the question. Making room in the toe box is easy. Taking up excess room around the ankles is harder. The Summit is lighter but has room in the toes and a snug fit especially around the ankles. The BOA system with a connected strap does a much better job keeping the heel in the pocket. It also allows for more micro adjustments and takes away the buckle fiddle factor.

+1 on the Kore series. My brother has the Kore 93, he really likes them and it is his only ski for all conditions at Jay. Elan Ripsticks get great reviews as well, I likely would have bought a pair of those in I didn't find the deal on the Mindbender C, which might be another ski to consider.
