All mountain ski

RedBaron882 · 2007-07-29 18:41:42

Im trying to find a ski for this year that is good in the park and can still be good on the rare powder day (cause i live on the east coast). Ive narrowed my choices down to the surface watch life, last years karmas, or the scott puisher. Im 6' 185lbs expert skier and i ski 60% park 40% all mountain. Any input or suggestions would be great or if you got nothing better to do read this and post whatever the hell you want.

Try the Tahoe's or Reno Jibs. Tahoe's are the true all-mountain ski from Moment, and kills in the park. 96 underfoot.

Reno Jibs are 88 underfoot, symetrical park ski, but is stiff and can shred all mountain too.

also, have a look at 07 rossi scratch fs wrs. you can score 'em cheap this time of year, and perform reallyy well everywhere

I haven't heard anyone suggest the Scratch FS WRS - wouldn't that work well for what he's looking for?

^ I think that would be a very good fit. The Scratch FS WRS is a good ski for everything (except for SERIOUS pow)... and come be found for a good price ($299).

I'm pretty much identical to you (6'1" 185 lbs) and I've been asking around as well...my top two right now are

181 FS WRS
181 Mojo 80

Anyone know how the Karma compares to these two in the park?

I'd like to take a look at the Karma, but I'm trying to stay under $300 - not sure how much you're looking to spend

If you're looking for longer than 181 - like others have said, the Scratch BC (not sure if it's similar in durability to FS WRS?) or maybe even the Mojo 90...though from what I gather, the Mojo is going to be more of an all mountain ski - as it's not very flexible and has some weight to it...but for larger skiers, I guess that becomes less of an issue.
