with out knocking on salomon to bad... has any one skied both of these? The 17m radius of the 174 is alot diferent than the 20m radius of the 182. The thing that attracted me to the foil was its small turn radius (17.6)... So my question is First is the 174 way to small? East cost(ny mostly) 180 lbs.... Second can the 182 carve a soild turn?
And for the haters....
What other tiwn is gunna double as a carver?

search a page or two back someone just rode them in austria or some place. really liked them. I'd definitely go for the 182 or look into the karma. I really really loved the karma last year and they come in a 177 or something.

at 180 174 is much to small, i've got the 182's (weigh 190) haven't skied them but they've got a pretty agressive sidecut just looking at them.

ive got 04 PE's in 179 right now.. not sure if i wanna go a little softer and more playful (foil) or stiffer such as the karma mainly i just wanna be able to put the ski on edge... maybe i should just keep the pe's active and get some allstars

the karmas are a little stiffer but they have a ton of pop for someone who is 180.
