Greetings Alex, The Armada 88 is going to feel damper and smooth out some variable snow thanks to its almost 200-gram increase, while being narrower. Both can handle the remaining soft snow you find just fine, with the ZG 95 having a bit more float thanks to the wider waist.

Hey H, You will be just fine powder skiing a 122mm underfoot ski with the Zero G Tour Pro. It's a pretty stout boot.

Hi Rob, There are a couple small changes. The new ones have a metal baseplate, and the heel gap is now etched onto the pins. The 102 brake is going to be pretty tight on the QST Echo 106. We'd recommend going with the 108 brakes. Should be a great binding for that ski though!

Hi Daniel, Sometimes there is wearing on the toe lever but there is a quick and easy fix. You can replace the Din Window Covers with an updated version that manually holds the toe lever in place. Here is a link to them on our site! https://skimo.co/salomon-binding-parts Please feel free to email or call us with any more questions. Thanks, Ross // Skimo

Hi Jordan, Sizing largely comes down to personal preference. At your height and weight I would go with the 176 cm especially given that you'll still have a sturdy tail on the hyper manti. The 176 will also be more enjoyable on the uphill. 181cm is more suitable for more agressive downhill skiing and if you really value that then the 181 is still an appropriate choice. Send us an email, or give us a call if you'd like to dive into more details. Thanks, Ross // Skimo
