Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm looking for a replacement for my Scott Missions to use on days and runs when my Whitedot Preachers get a little unwieldy, eg icy conditions on and off piste and touring. I'm finding The Missions are too flappy. I was thinking 90ish underfoot, approx 160cm long, medium turn radius, traditional camber (I've tried tip rockers but didn't like them) stiff and light. Any suggestions to try? Thanks

Also could I have the Marker F10s already mounted on my Preachers refitted using quiver killers so I can use the bindings on both sets of skis?

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

Scott The Ski - heading home after a week of skiing 180 The Ski, was very very happy on this week's conditions

Blizzard Brahma or Bushwacker? How tall are you though as 160cm sounds really short.

I have Whitedot Directors & faced a similar dilemma. I bought Dynastar Cham 87's. With the harder on & off piste in Chamonix till the last day or so they were super (by my modest standards). I have Marker F10's, and quiver killers so switch them between skis. Not sure about weight, etc, but they are more nimble than my sons' Preachers.

Thanks folks, I demoed the Cham 87's and didn't like them - the rockers felt weird to me. Scott's The Ski sounds worth a try; are they much stiffer than the Missions?

Looking further the K2 Rictor 90 XTI look very interesting; any comments?

@lynseyf, Actually the Bushwacker sounds ideal, I wonder if they are much stiffer than the Missions?
