I was wondering your thoughts on what ski would be good for skiing at Jay. I ski every weekend and am advanced . It would be for about 30% powder 30% groomers 35% trees and a little park just for the jumps. Some thoughts were the line blend or chronic or the Rossi sin 7. What are your thoughts?
No actually I've gone every weekend the last 2 years and only have gone to the water park once I agree it is stupid I go there for the snow. I prefer a symertrical ski and something playful that is a one ski quiver. I'm a high schooler and about 140 lbs
The YLEs look sick but I have the line masterminds right now which are really skinny and shitty in pow do you think the 119 waist is too much of a leap from a skinny park ski (I think their only 85s)
Are they going to perform well on piste and moguls and playful enough to do quick turns because jay isn't always powder infant you find about everything there
I have gone on vacation to Jay every year for the past ~12 years. The most memorable times were on my one lifes, S3's, and oddly invaders. I ski everything when I'm at Jay: the face, trees, bumps, park, groomers more or less in that order.
One lifes--
Pros: Excellent in pow and crud. Fast on groomers once you get used to them. Surprisingly nimble in the tight trees as well.
Cons: Turning radius of a stretch limo, terrifying in bumps, not the best on jumps, take up a shit load of room on the tram.
S3's--
Pros: Excellent all around ski, performs well in every aspect. My ideal all around ski.
Cons: They don't like high speeds. I pushed them to their limits on upper can am and the tips started folding. I also have them center mounted so that has a large effect on it.
Invaders--
Pros: Highly maneuverable, surprisingly great in the crud, ripped groomers surprisingly well in my opinion, excellent in the bumps
Cons: They sink in powder haha, I still had so much fun on them though in the trees and crud. Some people think they are too soft, but mine were fairly stiff everywhere except the butter zones. Very fun ski.
So there are three very different skis haha that performed well from my own experiences.
