New skis for next year

4frnt

A certain underground ski company that has select test models out this year.

If you want one ski that will ski similarly in park and better elsewhere:
k2 kung fujas
line blends
moment tahoe
rossignol s5

If you want to keep ar6s for the park and get a better pow/steeps ski thats kind of all-mountain:
4frnt vct
dynastar huge trouble
line proph 100
line sir francis bacon
atomic thug
moment ruby
rossignol s6
moment m1
volkl gotama

If you want the same thing as above, only rockered (which i would recommend):
k2 obsethed
moment bibby
armada jj
moment garbones (directional rocker)

if you were lying about the steeps and just want a good pow ski:
k2 hellbent
line ep pro
armada args (pow only)

and if youre strait charging steeps:
line mothership
armada ant
moment ruby 190

thats my advise at least, i didnt recommend any bad skis, so youre safe with whatever you go with just read some reviews and get the buyers guide in sept

sorry, m1 should be in the charging category

obseethed are pretty good for charging too

damn good list. o and add salomon rockers to the charge list

wow thanks bro

Not really... at all..

Way too soft for that kind of hardcore charging...



I see you're in california.. but you ski crested butte?

I'm just going to suggest getting a mid 90's width ski that can do pretty much everything.. 50/50 park and all mountain stuff. You probably dont need anything TOO fuckin wide and probably wouldnt if you are at least doing park half the time. Here is a list i compiled in another thread.

First, the name of the ski, then the basic width underfoot, and i put in a sort of flex system that I have figured upon each of these skis based on what i've ridden, and what i've heard about each ski. The higher the first number, the softer the ski. The higher the 2nd number, the stiffer... this way you can figure out which are the stiffer skis, and which ones are softer within the category. Enjoy.

Boone 93 waist. (50% park 50% all mountain flex)
4frnt MSP 92 waist. (50/50 flex)
Armada ARV 92-95 waist (70/30 flex)
Volkl Bridge 92 waist (40/60 flex)
Dynastar Big Trouble 92 waist (50/50 flex)
Libtech NAS FR 93 waist (60/40 flex)
High Society FR 92 waist (30/70 flex)
Movement Gladiator 92 waist (not sure)
Ninthward Firstblood 91 waist (30/70 flex)
Line Anthem 93 waist (80/20 flex)
Liberty Hazmat 94 waist (50/50 flex)
Bluehouse MR 93 waist (50/50 flex)
Rossignol BC/Brigade/S5 98-101 waist (60/40 flex)
Moment Tahoe 96 waist (40/60 flex)

huh?

check my profile. i ski mammoth.


and seths do fine for charging, sure im not talking about some crazy ak lines, but will probably be good for any inbounds or easy access bc stuff

After i made my comment about the seths, I was talking to the thread creator, dude. Not you anymore..


And charging shit only means crazy high speed AK lines in my book.

inbounds blower and easy backcountry stuff would just be called.. well.. for lack of better terms, shredding pow.

kung fujas better than ar6's on runs?

coreUPT xxx ray look really cool.
