The new Rossi B2s rip...and they are semi twins. Heavy as hell but are indestructable, fat enough for the deep pow but with a radius of 18, it can carve. Really good ski

Do you want twin tips or just a really good normal ski?

i'm sorry dspin7x for naming all the twins, i hope i didn't offend you in any way by doing so but those are all good all-mountain skis, they rip everything and if they have a twin so be it, buddy asked for skis that are good all mountain and i've rode all of those so i'm giving him feedback

new Atomic Sugar Daddy - for those who's got the balls... wish to testdrive those boards... stiffness, width, power and all the shit... ride the ice, drop the cliffs, float the pow... but you won't make a turn untill you got a speed...

for groomers the Rossi Vipers in a 176 are by far the best for groomers, and will hold up in powder fairly well, but it depends on your size.
Bandit XX or the new 'B2' i hear are good too, but i havent ridden them so i wouldnt know.
if you want a good all mountain twin, i really liked last years 1080, i hear that this years skied really well, but they break a hell of alot more easily.
i demoed the Rossi Scratch BC and i thought that they skied just like a GS ski, and that is wicked for groomers, and they floated really nicely in powder

i'm gonna have to say public enemies. most would say the seth pistol over the public enemy, but that ski is mainly designed for powder days, so on crud days or any day that there's no powder, the public enemy is better, and it still does great in the powder.


Would you like freedom fries with that?

if you're looking for a really good all mountain ski, you probably wont find it in a twin tip. all the skis listed are good, just demo and figure it out for yourself.
