I like tall end on the rear because it is more aerodynamic ;) but, with mitts they seem to work better that way under my pants.

It is great, much easier to ride than the 4WD. It hides all my mistakes, but the camp helped fix some of those. Looking forward to next time I am on snow. Higher angles will be needed!

4th day of carving camp (I had to take the 3rd day off for my daughter's birthday). Sunshine was out, but it rained lower down yesterday and made it hard and fast. I only made it until 1:30 and my legs were done. Others had to catch planes and we all had a great time. The new Coiler definitely got a workout!

2nd day of carving camp....all of our legs and knees are sore. Snow was perfect, our technique not quite.

1st day of carving camp with Mike Jacoby, Doug, Tom, Chris, and myself. Snow was great and we learned lots on this day.

Mike made it up for the weekend and made some turns with his son filming. Snow is great so far this year. http://vimeo.com/33852946

We just finished out last day today (I only had 3) and we are all tired and better riders for it. Mike is an amazing teacher and he makes everything look so effortless.

You could always build footbeds that are built up in the middle of the foot, which would effectively shorten the overall length of your foot when on them. However, this would be extremely uncomfortable and I doubt you could be in them very long. Why do you want to downsize anyway?

I am pretty sure they numbers on the heels are 5.5/6/6/5

I have 26.5 feet and used 26.0 liners last year. This year I got 26.5 liners and I am a bit happier. There is no way I could go down to 25.0 without a lot of pain...that and I would never get the buckles done up.

I do not have time to organize anything, but will be there if there are others around.

Because it is missing 12" of tail on it...

December 3 Runs were well groomed, with hard packed icy snow. Today was 50% off lift passes so I went early to beat the crowds. Today was also the first day with my new liners and Coiler AMT 168. I only made 4 runs today and my feet were a bit sore and wanted to be able to dance tonight at my company xmas party. Overall a great 2 hrs worth of carving. The AMT is much easier to ride than my 4WD 179 that I had last year. It was worth every penny.

I bought some soft boots from them last year and it was a pleasure. I did pay in full though...;)

Sure, just keeping turning the bindings to a 70 degree angle... Going to have to know the angles you want to run first, but I am guessing you will want a wider board as a new rider.
