GrizzlyBurrI'm about to buy the Kartel 98s OR the Filthy Richs. I know the Kartels are made more for all mountain and the FRs are more for park.
I want all mountain skis that are great in the park so I'm more than likely going to get the Kartels. But is there that much a difference between them? Because there is in price.
I'm obviously biased but this about settles what you should get....
"I want all mountain skis"
FR are park skis. Symmetrical flex, sidecut, mount. They are great park skis, but lack the stability and drive to really excel all mountain.
The Kartels are designed to to ski the mountain, while remaining park capable. Way better all mountain skis. For what it is worth, they are what everyone at ON3P uses in the park, too.
