 Poster: A snowHead
|
Yoo, struggling big time trying to find the perfect ski's at the moment!
I'm looking for a pair of twin tip's that are good offpiste but don't struggle when it comes to piste as well.
Going out for a full season in November so want to make sure I get the right pair for me.
The ones that caught my eye so far are Faction CT 2.0's. They're 102 underfoot - I've never gone this wide before, will this effect my skiing on piste at all?
If anyone has any recommendations that'd be sweet!
Thanks in advance!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Yes, undoubtedly. How much they affect your skiing on piste, and whether this is a bad effect or not will be determined by how you ski them and what your expectations are when skiing on piste.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Because there is no such thing!
If you are out for a season, buy something 2nd hand, use them a few days and sell them on if you don't like them. Have more than one pair.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm a fairly competent skier, so I feel I'll be able to manage them, but just want to be certain before I spend the money.
Also been given a pair of K2 sights (2015) to use for the season which are 85 underfoot so will have another pair.
Haha yeah I know, it's a nice thought to find the perfect pair though!
Being an intermediate-experienced skier how would you say managing 102mm would be?
Cheers Rob, can't wait to get out there!

@samtm96, not familiar with either of the skis you'll have, but one sounds more piste-focused, one sounds more off-piste (and park) focused. Sounds like you're all set for whatever skiing you'll do.

Shouldn't do massively. I stepped up to Cham 97's without a great deal of affect. It's not like the old days.
