Replying to Stuck between skis +K for help
I am a 6'1" 160lb advanced skier. I like to venture off piste, but need a ski that will truly charge on piste as well and am looking at skis from 97-103 underfoot for my all day charger ski that I will be using daily and on a few trips to alta/snowbird and Tahoe this upcoming winter. I ski about 20 days a year mostly southern Utah, but I'll be all over Utah this year (15 day trip). I would demo, but unfortunately I live in Southern California so I'm SOL.
I am looking at the following skis:
In order by my personal preference.
Dynastar cham 97
184 cm
133 - 97 - 113
16m
(These get mixed reviews. I'm not too sure about how they do on piste, some say they ski heavy)
Atomic Ritual
182 cm
137.5 - 103 - 123.5
19m
(Very impressive reviews, but still unsure about powder performance, some say they ski heavy)
Atomic alibi
180cm
132 - 98 - 118
19m
(Haven't heard much about anything other than hard pack)
4frnt Cody/gaucho
179cm
126 - 100 - 124
19m
(I just don't know much about this, some people say it's an amazing ski, but not many ppl ride these.)
Salomon q98
180cm
134 - 97 - 120
19.2m
(Hard snow performance is not very good from what I have read)
+K FOR GOOD RESPONSES ON THESE SKIS.
