Hey @Guppy73 ! We caught up with Seth Stisher (one of our Connelly team skiers) and asked him what would be the best option for you boot and ski wise. He has some demo skis left from 2017 and should have some boot options too. Shoot him an email at seth@skiseth.com

Hey @jkill_88 ! We love that you currently ride a Connelly and would love to help you get on the next level Connelly to accelerate your skills :) Our suggestion is to look for a closeout ski or a used model for a little bit more advanced ski so you don't pay full price but still got on a new ride that suits your interests. We suggest going with the Carbon V http://www.connellyskis.com/carbon-v.html or the V http://www.connellyskis.com/v.html . Think you would really like and excel on either of those!

Thanks @horton!! Let us know how the fin adjustments go.

http://connellyskis.com/page/GT_fin_spec Joel's numbers for the 67" are on that link. @horton & @sethski are great references too!!! Although not on the same page when it comes to size sticker.

Ballers, We read you loud and clear. Change is coming!!!

@Wish Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

@ALPJr @BG1 There were not any feature changes on the Carbon V for 2015. Just a bright new look!

@BG1 Measured with the tips.

@MickeyThompson @BG1 Hey guys, my apologies. I double checked numbers and the ones above are from an out of date sheet. The correct fin settings for the V & Carbon V are below. Depth - 2.434 Length - 6.782 with tips DFT - .814 measured to bevel The binding info above is correct.

Hey Mickey! We can help you out here. Fin: Depth - 2.429 Length - 6.757 DFT - .813 Binding: 29 1/4" from heel of the front binding to the tail of the ski.

@jjackkrash I have another slalom guru that I think you should talk to. Give us a call when you have a minute. 800.234.7547 - ask for Cotto.

@Billy_728 another little nugget, and it probably isn't helping you decide on a ski, but Fred Halt did win 35+ Worlds on a GT prototype. That was ran at 34mph. I agree with @Chef23, a 67" Prophecy would work fine especially if you're working up in speed.

@jjackkrash Yes. If you ski in that 32 to 34 range I would definitely check out the Carbon V.

@Billy_728 I'm going to throw you a curveball here. Have you ever considered the Carbon V? It sounds like your skiing at 34mph predominantly. The Carbon V was built specifically for tournament level skiing at 34mph. Don't get me wrong, I think you would be really happy on a 67" Prophecy especially if your aspiring to hit 36 soon. Consider this thought; we had a skier testing a Prophecy for a few weeks. He was coming off an F1X (big jump, I know), and he doesn't ever ski at 36. He liked the Prophecy but ultimately thought the tail of the ski sat a little too low at his usual speeds (32 - 34). We got him on the Carbon V and he said he instantly noticed how much better the ski felt on the water. He told me he was laughing in the middle of his run at how well the ski turned through the course.

@Horton‌ We would love for you to post this video. Find the GT clinic, as well as others, on our website connellyskis.com or our vimeo page https://vimeo.com/connellyskis/videos.

@Bill22‌, these guys are correct. The V sounds like a great option for your friend. It's more forgiving than the Carbon V with the slightly softer flex pattern. It was designed specifically for the 32 - 34mph skier delivering optimum performance at these speeds.

Here's a copy of our heat molding instructions for those who are interested: To mold your Connelly Stealth bindings, first remove any screws, fasteners, straps and innersole before molding. Failure to remove the innersole can result in it becoming deformed by the heat. Pre heat the oven to 70C/160F. Place the binding in the oven for 20 minutes. Higher temperatures will void your warranty and may damage your binding. Caution: Do not place your feet in the hot shoes or you may burn your feet. Let them cool a little and test the shoe temperature with your hand before placing your feet in the shoes. Tighten the straps and allow to cool. If you have any lumps or bunions on your feet or if there are any areas causing discomfort, while the shoe is hot you can use the round end of a screwdriver to press out any part of the binding. You can heat mold the bindings as many times as you like.

This is truly the best ski forum on the face of the internet. A huge thanks to everyone who has made suggestions to help our fellow baller. @JJR, thank you for getting a hold of us. Let us know how the extra angle helps with the pressure point. If that doesn't help please call us before trying to heat mold the boot.
