 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've sold all my skis on ebay since a trip to La Grave. I need to go fat and had a great time on B3's. Whilst they are not the only fat skis in the world, I used them and skiied well, so why mend it if it's not broken.
Question is, where can I get some in the UK? Going to Cham in 4 weeks for climbing, so will check it out there as well

Why? 120-83-110 for the 05/06? I guess they weren't selling enough.
Better get this year's. Or Gotamas.
Thanks.

B4!!!!!!! One better than B3!!!!!!!!
Pistols are too soft, the Vicious are apparently good, not ridden them.
Off to Las Lenas in August, looks like B3's for that trip.

That is a concern, Rossi cores aren't the most hardwearing. Still, the guys I am with have a few spare wood core pairs out there.

or B Squad if you're a real toughguy.... although I think they're only available in a 195
maybe it's just me but fat skis in a 168 just seems wrong

flicksta, so what you want is a stiff powder ski that comes in a 168.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

I am really struggling with the masculinity of riding 168's. Tempted to push it to 173. Sold a pair of 183 Enemys, great in the open, but in the trees they were just too long.
However, if the poo-poo fits, wear it, and 168's worked for me in La Grave

Potentially. B3's worked, 168 was a good length, so I'll stick with it. I'm 5'8" and vary between 75-80kgs

If you want a stiffer off-piste ski ca 90mm waist then don't rule out the Head Mad Trix Mojo. A 166 is more like a 160 as the turn-up on the tips reduces the running length a lot. The 176 will ski more like a 170 and might suit you better.
Everybody has different tastes, best to demo first.

Arno,
Agree, sounds like a contradiction to me
Look at the 8000 or 8800 type and a min of 175 range.
But if a B3 in 168 or whatever is what is required then go fo it...!!
The advice here is always to ski it yourself and if it works...!!

There is no way you can go wrong with the Dynastar Legend Pros(goog luck finding a pair your size now) or the Dynastar Legend 8800. Both are awesome skis. I f oyu can find the Legend Pro's hands down best ski on the market for big mountain powder freeriding(off Piste)
Ride em Like Ya Stole Them!!! w00t

The shortest Legend Pros are 186cm so I don't think Flicksta will have much luck looking for a 168
