been looking at this ski for awhile, looks interesting, a wide, 173 length, good amount of rocker park ski, seems really fun. only thing that im skeptical about is camber underfoot which i never have liked and that they seem stiffish. anyone skiied these or heard much about them?

My buddy rides these as his park ski. They are one of the softest mens skis that Surface makes but they are definitely not noodles... He loves them and the chamber underfoot actually lets you ride them on hardpack with some control. For a fun wide park ski they are a no brainer!

awesome, thanks for the reply! sounds even better than i thought, i was a little turned off by them thinking they would be overly stiff, but sounds like its a pretty mediumish flex?

i think im gonna give them a shot, ive been looking for a 2nd park ski/fuck around ski and these seem like the most interesting/different idea ive seen in awhile so why not?

Hes riding One Lifes, not One Times..

However, I would totally recommend One Lifes. I've owned the One Life/Live Life 2 for 5 or so seasons now, and they're my go to ski. Such an awesome time anywhere on the mountain.

damn those look fun, so many big presses and he was still getting really techy too, the 179's have the same flex rating as the one times, hmmm almost makes me want those!

where are you seeing 250? i see 350, which is still dirt cheap. shit, i might have to try both and sell whatever i like less...
the new life is also like 370 on there, which i was thinking about for my next powder ski.

The One Times are pretty much a mini One Life. Little softer and less rocker.

yeah i think im gonna get them, probably those one times off evo also, 250's just too cheap to pass up for a ski ive always been interested in.
