 Poster: A snowHead
|
out of the above skis which is the most versitile i.e. can float well on powder but still get a good edge on piste? im looking at these skis as they dont seem to be too fat yet still have a decent waist think they range from 85-90mm. im 6ft 11stone and decent intermmidiate level i have my own piste skis but would like something that will give me a bit more versatility and is quite forgiving to ski i.e. not overly difficult to ski, if i do something wrong dont want them to kill me

Heard good things about the line 90, I think DaveC had this for the season, maybe you should PM unless he shows up..

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

shapes, tried the Pilgrims, they were good but I thought they felt quite stiff compared to my Scott Rosa's (same as Mission but slightly softer flex). Haven't tried the others but I'd go Punisher. Scott make really good skis at the moment and the Punishers are in a twin tip as well as I recall.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've got Prophets and really like them, but I'd suggest that you also check out the Tahoe.

I've skied the Punishers for about 6 days total (housemate had some with demo bindings on), and Prophets for about 40 days.
You'll probably find the Punishers easiest to ski - Prophets might be a bit rough if you're not on top of them- they have a bit of stiffness to them and need flexing into turns. I'd definitely describe Punishers as "forgiving and easy to ski". Prophets are way more fun in powder.
I've heard a lot of good things about Moment (and as they're making the longest asymmetrical park ski in their 186 reno jib that's probably going to be my park ski this year), but never tried em - and I didn't get on with Icelantic at all when I tried them.
For what it's worth, my buddy bought a brand new pair of Punishers last year on an end of year sale so has his pair - they're in good condition, I remember being suprised how well they'd held up - and I'm selling my 186 prophets in Buy/Sell/Exchange so you've probably got a couple of good cheaper than retail options available

are Moment available in Europe or do you just have to order them direct from the manufacturer?
