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

I'm fat and fixed.

Gotta go with Goofy for me. Yuk, yuk, yuk.

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.

Custom X, T6: Goofy.
or
skinny and fixed

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!

Volke Karma's 160 CM (Sick Ski)
Salomon Bindings, can't remember the model
Atomic Izor 71 168 CM (Nice on wide open groomers)
Integrated Bindings

Boots - Technica Vento 10 HVL

Jacket - Orange Jacket, and some rag from REI
Helmet - some random Brain Bucket
Gloves - They keep my hands warm
Pants - Burton (its either that or look like a racer)
Poles (nothing special)

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?
