Replying to choooosing a new ski
heh, posted this in the wrong forum...woops :)
so after a lot of reading and little testing...i have decided on one of these...
line mothership
salomon pocket rocket
head mad trix system
im looking for a very powder friendly (fat) twintip that doesn't weigh a ton, has the ability to handle rather large hucks, and is light enough for spins/grabs...and is high speed friendly :)
ive read horror stories about the mothership...how it looks nice, and its tech specs read nice..but i read how it cant perform, how it's tail is to soft, and how it can be damaged to easily...
ive read that the pocket rockets are great except kinda heavy and they cant handle well under high speeds...
the head mad trix biggest issue i can find is the weight with the binding system..but i like how it is all setup...
i am 5'5' and 135 pounds...currently im tooling around on a pair of 2001 1080s and have beaten them to the point needing to be replaced....
sooo...with what im looking for, anyone have any suggestions? and dont just say 'demo them all and pick the right one'..cause not all those skis are demo-able :)
