I am looking at these three skis, I don't really know which to pick. I am 70% Park 30% All Mountain. I have the Volkl Karmas. I love them and their stiffness and the woodcore. I am looking for something with good value. Mostly jumps and some rails. Thanks
Also I am 6 feet to 6 foot 1. I am 170 What size should I be looking at?
THANKS
if you're riding 70% park, don't get the blends! (too stiff and heavy)
Walls are really fun center mounted for park, but not too much fun all mountain (although it may be different if you don't center mount them) Also fyi i bought 08 walls brand new and they got completely fucked up after 20 days. i blew out 12" of edge under boot, delammed tips, and edges/ptex at tips are bent/broken. They are SO FUN though. it's a ski you hate to love. if you're typically not too rough with your skis they might last, but i was in the park all day every day for a month and a half and had to buy some pipe cleaners recently to replace the walls (2nd new pair in one season)
i'm sure youve heard everyone complaining about the durabilityand service of salomon recently, so there you go.
if you're open to another suggestion, i would def. go with anthems/chronics. Line skis have been my favorite. they are durable, really fun, good value, and i have recommended them to lots of friends. i have 5 buddies with line skis, and none have had problems with durability. just don't get the blends if you're doing 70% park!
Your kidding right?
Without a doubt Blends are THE best all mountain ski there is. Light and flexible,perfect for shredding absolutely everywhere from pow,to crud,to park,moguls,you name it. Hence the name? BLEND OF EVERYTHING
