 Poster: A snowHead
|
I really want an all mountain twin tip ski, I have some options in mind, Atomic Panic, Atomic Theory, Salomon Rocker2 90, Scott Punisher and Line Chronic.
I'm 6'2, 210 pounds and a quick learning intermediate, I ski mainly on piste 70%, off piste 20%, park 10% (for now wanting to do more off in time) Which is the best ski out of my options?

welcome to snowheads, first question.
Do you wear a helmet?

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

NOT the new Punisher.
Take a look at the Nordica Soul Riders though.

How about the Volkl Bridge? I have skied them and they weren't for me, but I prefer a piste ski. My brother has them, bought them at the start of his season and he loves them

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I sometimes wear a helmet depends on what I am skiing. Why?
I've checked out the Bridge they seem pretty good, anyone got any other suggestions?

tc_thomaschild, There are loads of options. It's best to try them out, either by renting, or going somewhere where the manufacturers let you try thier skis, eg a snowheads bash, or Dynastar's Grand Montets test centre

Line Prophet 98's???
they rate them 60% on 40% off, I have tried them and loved them and have a couple of friends living the dream in France who use them daily including for touring.
have seen some of last years on offer as well £300 ish for flat ski, seems good....

The K2 Kung Fujas could be worth a lot as they seem to cover all bases - on piste, off piste and park use - http://www.snowgenius.com/skis/k2/kung-fujas/ - though I think that like anything in life, a jack of all trades isn't going to be quite as good at any one role than something more specialised...

Update, after today's test of Rossi S7s, the Pilgrims will no longer be my daily skis.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Second vote for Nordica Soulriders. Have had them all season and ski them every day, in every condition, on and off piste apart from the park. (Something to do with my age I think!). Can't ' fault them, easy turning, easy off piste and plenty of float for off piste. See the review on Blistergearreview if you want an expert view.

You know it makes sense.

White Dot Preacher? Been using this as my only ski all season. Not sure what it is like in the park but i have found it excellent for both on piste and off.
