Equal Tip and Tail?

I looking into getting a new pair of skis. I prefer a ski with a equal or nearly equal tip and tail. How are the 4FRNT's? I know armadas have a kind of small tail. I like how my Motherships have the high tail, but I have AT bindings on them so I really just want to use them for backcountry. I'm looking for something with at least a waist of 90. Suggestions?

Yeah most line skis are. But I'm looking for something fairly wide and I already have the motherships.

i have the mojos and they are fairly even in the tip and tail, of coarse the tail is a little smaller, but not by much.

Line has a patent on equal tip and tail skis so their skis will be the only ones that are exactly equal

^^ I've skied them and they are sooo nice. If they come out with a 175cm - 180cm next year, I'd probably ditch my Armada ARVs and get a pair.

The 4frnts tail isnt very big, but I still havent managed to dig the tails in at anypoint while skiing them. I'd say if you are going to ski entire faces of knee deep pow switch, then wait for next years JP Auclair model. Otherwise I like my 4frnts very well, the pistols ski well (and the tail on the pistols is a true twin tip, or at least close enough) and possibly the ARV's, the tails on those are more than the 4frnts. Anyways, I think those might be some good options.








I have a theory that all retards have one long tendon that goes from wrist to wrist, so therefore that is why they always are screwin around with one wrist up, and the other one down.
