why do people ski on skis like the b-squad in opw like all the rossignol riders. sure there good for charging crud and variable crap but in fresh pow in AK, something like the bents or ARG is super stable and so much funner and floatier? NOOBS

They dont need some stupid ski with crazy sidecut and tons of rocker to ski a crazy line.  All of the new shit is just to make it easier.  They dont need that crap.  You cant tell me an arg or hellbent would be more stable at speed than the sc108 or the old Bsquad.  Theres a reason they are so popular on tgr.
