Freeheel, fixed heel? Fat or skinny? Goofy or regular?

Really old boots, a pair of nice fairly new Atomics(190cm) with bindings I scored at a ski swap recently for 100 bucks and my Scott Gold poles that I have been using since high school, you know from 4 years...ok, ok....decades ago.

Please don't start about the old boots, like MRG regarding the snowboard issue, I have heard it all before. I did get a pair of fancy Nordica boots a few years ago, they were bright green, don't remember the model. I tried them once and my feet froze so I put them in the trash and went back to old reliable.

well, depends on the day!

-fixed usually (FAT)
-then freeheel (finally with plastic boots after 13 years riding leathers!) (mid FAT)
-and if that's not doing it for me, or if we get a lot of snow, I ride the old Rippy regular foot!

gotta love choices!

Fixed - Rossi Sprayer Scratch BCs (182) Nice ski in bumps or trees. Little thinner than the pocket rockets I had/have and a bit lighter.

Next year I think I'll try freeheel. I love the idea of skinning up a mountain and coming down with nothing around you. Any suggestions on equipment? Should I go AT? Would AT bindings allow me to use my plastic doubles?
