Is the 1080 foil a good all around ski? I'm 5'4'' 100 lbs. Ski in the east, 2-3 times out west.

They're a super fun do everything ski. I had a pair 4 or so years ago and they skied super well. The only problem that I had was I delamed 4 pairs in 2ish seasons but as far as I know they don't have that problem anymore. Sounds like they would be a perfect ski for you.

nah the foil never changed for its three years as far as i know. if ur really worried about that, ask around at your shops and see if you can get them riveted.
