 Poster: A snowHead
|
This is maybe a little cheeky as one of the forum users is offering the former, but I am totally stumped and need external opinions!!
First off I weigh about 12.5 stone and ski fairly aggresively. Goal is a descent orientated backcountry ski for touring in Austria (and hopefully once West coast US), easy turn initiation is important as well as straight line stability... both will be mounted with Dynafit FTs, and using Dynafit Mercury boots, both weigh in at around 3800g for the pair and both are sexy as fck...
So it is a toss up between a hugely (8.5 cm after 39cm) tip rockered Bro, with 99mm underfoot made of carbon and glass etc. stiffer, maybe more sensible
or the fully (but only slightly) rockered Volkl Nunataq, 107mm underfoot, a little softer but possible more playful...
To make things a tougher the Bro is 200 Euros more expensive (which needs to be taken into account) !
Help please

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

We carry Nunataq, hard to beat weight; dimensions ski ability IMO.

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

dulcamara, I've fondled the Voelkl in a shop, was very impressed, while it may be softer it's not a noodle.
However, I ended up with a pair of DOWN CD7's, which have been fantastic, also 3800g for the pair, 110 underfoot, flat camber with tip/tail rocker (and taper) great build quality (made in the same factory as Whitedot). I wanted something that skied as similarly to my Bibby Pros on the down as possible, but lighter and narrower for the up, and they do just that. Also available for a very good price, and they should be announcing their pre-season sale prices shortly.
If you pm me your email I can send you the specs sheet (not 'officially' released yet), or get in touch with Gregor directly (email address on their site), who's really helpful.
