I really want solid orange skis. I almost pulled the triggers on some DPS Wailers (?) just for that reason. But then I resisted temptation...[/QUOTE]
The new 2018 Black Crow Camox Birdie is coming out in orange.

Oh , maybe. I asked the guy at Evo what color the 2018's were and he said orange. Maybe he was thinking of the Atris Birdie. Anyhow, just followed the tracking and skis are coming Monday.....

So I checked specs on Black Crows skis and waist width for 156's is 96. I ordered marker squires 110. Is that too wide for the ski? Guy at evo said no more than 15 mm and this is 14. On powder 7 I read no more than 12...
Any comments? Another option was the Salomon z10 ti in a 100.....No on Attack 12's or 13's.

That's what I was wondering. Any suggestions for another binding? I could get the Salomon z10 ti ...... or there is a lightweight Look binding. Maybe the Look NX 11?

I don't know.... just got off the phone with evo.com and rep sort of agreed with me that the brake was in the end of the range BUT thinks the DIN setting should be my concern, not the width of the brake. This is due to my stats of 5'1 102 and advanced with a setting of 4.5 on a binding that goes to 13 (such as attack 13). He said on any binding I should be in the middle of the range so now is holding the salomon z10 ti for me for 48 hours....
z10 is a very nice binding. I have had a few of those Ti bindings in the past and was quite happy with them. The Squires, despite their upgrade from previous hellish models, I have found to still offer too much trouble clicking in. I have Squires on my Kicker skis and simply despise them. I also have DIN of 4.5 and am similar to you in size.

Yes I like the z10 ti's and am having evo.com hold them while I decide. @Jilly mentioned a larger brake so something to think about.
But yay, just got back from bike ride to gym and lo and behold the Black Crows were on my doorstep. So much for "signature required" that I paid for.
No excuse though for not getting that signature!
I had a shipment not get to me a week ago. Canada Post says they delivered it, I don't have it. The delivery guy even stopped by on his way back to depot one night and told me how it left.
I went after the company for no signature required. I called mastercard about not receiving it. They said I'd have to wait till July 10th to claim. Called the company, they shipped me another shipment but it's going to my office instead.
I never though about your DIN setting. I was thinking you could just switch up the brake with a narrower one. Look after that DIN setting, it's more important.

Actually your idea was a good one and would have worked if Marker had a brake with a 100mm width. They only had 90 and 110.
So think I will go with the salomon z10 titaniums .... @badger thanks for recommendation as have them on other skis but thought maybe a different binding for the Black Crows. But DIN setting is really important and will order the z 10's and return the marker squire 110's...

I am returning the Marker Squire and ordered the Salomon Warden 11 (thank you @SnowHot ) in 100 mm.... Will be here by Friday I think... not that i need them now. It was between the Salomon Warden 11 and the Salomon z10 ti (which I had on two pairs of skis and liked).... Thought I would try something different.

The new 2018 Black Crow Camox Birdie is coming out in orange.[/QUOTE]
SO was in Mammoth last weekend and sent me pics of the DPS Yvettes (women's version of Wailers) on sale for 40% off. They are the solid pink ones and I have always wanted pink skis. Very tempting...I am 80% sure we are heading down for 4th of July weekend so maybe when I see them in person I will pull the trigger :D
