Which Twin-Tips?

RussellK141 · 2003-03-08 15:04:41

Hey guys I want a new pair of twin tips for the park but also good all-mountain. I think i've narrowed my choices to the Volkl V-Pro, Line Maverick, Line Mike nick, Salomon 1080, and possibly Rossi Scratch FS but I don't know much about those. Of course you people probably know more about these skis than i do so which is best for me. The snow i ski on is usually groomed hardpack and some ice. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Russell

mike nicks binding mount are a bit farther back so i would go with them just because i am a line lover, but i'd have to say the public enemies are wayyy sick and they are a bit fatter so you could ride powder easier.

If you want a good ALL_MOUNTAIN ski and park ski together i would suggest either Volkl V-Pro, Salomon 1080, or PE. I've got the volkl and the Pe,a nd they're both good for all-mountain. But the Public Enemy kicks ass everywhere, so i'd get that

All i have to say is you probably shouldn't go with the mavericks, and the 1260's wouldn't do for all-mountain at all. The 1080s are pretty good, but i think the Mike Nick beats them.

Public Enemies are supposed to be bombproof. plus, they won't delam, they have bullet shell rivets. really thick edges to hold up for grinding. 80mm waist so it's great all mountain and pow and park, the sickest graphics, and only $350.

go to a garage sale and buy some 230cm 20 year old rossis (nothing else will work and they must have pink writing), cut off about 70 cm, use a blow torch and curl up the tail and you'll have more steeze than a gorrilla

PE's for sure. They are a lot stiffer than the Scratches. The only downside to em is u cant do moguls if ur into that.
