Replying to Which powder ski to buy?
So...Hi!
I am wondering which powder ski I should buy. I live in Europe so some ski's aren't very easy to get (like On3p ski's - I know they're very popular here, but getting them shipped+import tax = way too expensive).
I did some research and I pretty much came up with the following ski's. I knów there's a huuuge difference between them, and don't tell me I should specify more on what I do and stuff. I huck cliffs, no 30 footers, I like jibbing around, riding fakie, popping 180's and 360's whenever I get the chance to and I plan on (hopefully, if there's enough snow when I'm on the mountain), maybe, build some booters to get some BC freestyle going.
<b>Whenever there's the tiniest bit of powder I ski pow, so it's not very likely I'll be needing both a park ánd powder ski on the same day</b>
People nowadays say it's useless to have a park ánd BC ski, and that you can just buy like the Kung Fujas or Line Blend and put some Schizo bindings on them. I can hardly believe this really works (maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic). <b>Can you really stomp fakie landings on a Kung-Fuja or Blend?</b>
<b>I already got the 2010/2011 Atomic Punx</b> (which are pretty f'in awesome) so I don't need a park ski anymore.
<b>I can get Atomic ski's very cheaply</b> (buying price) so, ofcourse I'm more inclined to get an Atomic ski, also because I'm the poorest sucker around here.
Note: I'm pretty tall, 6"4, but not very heavy; like 160 lbs (80kg anyway)
Ski's I figured I could buy:
- Line Blend
- Kung Fujas
- AR7
- Bent Chetler (Atomic, yey!)
- Blog (Atomic, awesome graphics (the 2010/2011 graphics are só rad), and I can get them cheaply)
- Hellbents
- EP Pro
Any thoughts on this, or suggestions on which ski might also be good is always (ofcourse) welcome!
Thanks in advance!
