Replying to Big Troubles or Karmas for me
I'm 6'0 205 and ski probably 70-30 all mountain to park. More friends carve than sit in park. Mostly ski Killy, sometimes Suday River and Sugarloaf here in the East Coast although I will be going out West this year. I have 1080's I've been rocking in 181's for the last 3 years and was going to get Foils but I'm bored with Salomon and their graphix.
I'm leaning towards 186 Big Troubles but the stiffness of Karmas is tempting. I hit the mountain pretty hard but I also like to play around and ski light popping off kickers landing switch and stuff even when I'm skiing with carving friends. Is the stiffness and performance of the Karma for Groomers enough to pass on the BIg Troubles? I hate groomers, but reality is sometimes you have to ski them in East especially when your with carving friends... I'm thinking the Big Troubles will be sweet for Soft warm days in Crud, powder days when we get them, and days where I just sit it the park. Probably enough so to pass on Karmas plus they seem closer to 1080's in terms of stiffness and weight.
What you all think? Those graphix on the Big Troubles for 07 are ridiculous also...
