Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

twin tips - any difference?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Apart from the fact that they ski short and you should get them about 10cm longer than what you'd normally have, is there any difference in how a twin tip skis to a normal carver?

They throw up a good "rooster tail" to deter those following from getting too close. wink

It's safer when riding switch.

Err, can't think of owt else.

is it called riding switch when you're skiing backwards? i'd never thought about it i suppose i'd just always thought switch was only somwthing you could do on snowboards/skateboards/wakeboards...

just bought my first twin tips so better get used to the lingo Very Happy

i'm sure there are a fair few differences in the feel of the skis too, but can't (yet) tell you from experience Wink

SooTyLaD, if you're into snow/skate/wake boards then the lingo is similar.

So it's well sick lines, sweet, stoked, Jong, gaper and so on.

Damn, I'm hip Cool

Usually (but not always) more freestyle/park orientated than other skis. Useful for skiing switch, but a pain in the a4se as you often have to split them to go into gondola slots. I used to have a pair of Rossi twins but ditched them for something else:- I don't ride switch very often (not on purpose anyway!) and wanted something stiffer for some hardcore piste carving action.

I have to split my FR's most of the time for gondola's but it's no problem & it has the benefit of reducing the number of people in the gondola.

The benefit of the twin for me is the easy of reversing when mountain goating etc.

boredsurfin, how?

Surely the fact that you have twins will not make 360's easier. Switch 360's however.. wink

COs they're too wide? Why not just stick them in the board slots

No, cos the tips go opposite directions meaning the slots height is too narrow...
