Which ski would you ride? And why?
This isn't a like-for-like comparison. Chopstick vs. Bentchetler would be most similar.
Chopsticks are rockered and designed to be mounted near centre. Thugs have regular camber and can be mounted either near the centre or further back.
If your approach to riding backcountry is more traditional- i.e. mostly forwards, more aggressive, get thugs. if you're more into switch pow, buttering etc, get chopsticks. Although thugs can do that stuff too.
As with 95% of these threads, try to give a lot more information on what type of skiing you like, how you ski, how big you are etc. You can't expect a good recommendation without that.
Oh, and post it in the right forum too.
First thanks a lot for the information. Then I don't quit get yet the rules off the newschoolers forum page, sorry for posting the worng place. I try to get use to it.
I'm 175cm and 80kg. I would ski the most time backcountry, both ways, buttering, take dropps etc.
But which size of chopsticks i should get? 175 or 185?
Correct me if I'm wrong but the bent chetlers have only one size right (183)?!
In switzerland we don't know much about the 2010 gear!!
