At the moment my quiver consists of 2013 filthy riches 176, and volkl bridge 2011, 168. I basically have solely been using the fr's and using the bridges for powder days. the bridges aren't great in more than like s foot of pow. is it worth selling them ( used only like 12 days) and trying to buy a true powder ski? would the money be worth it for the bridge?

I was talking to a friend and he was saying that its not worth spending the money because good pow days are few and far between right now in tahoe.


btw I am BROKE* just bought my mammoth pass and am skiing with my college ski team this winter so saving money for gas and other essentials.

Well i think all the snow you got this week might have thrown a wrench into those thoughts, you guys are due for a big snow year too so. But anyways i dont know about if its worth selling the bridges but you could get a pair of jj's for a little more but like said above i would look at the bents or sfb you can get those for cheap and they will still perform on less pow. Also another option is surfaces as they are a little less expensive and ive heard good and bad things about them so really up to you, also i would check out revision skis from what ive seen their skis are pretty dope and because they are a new company you can get their shit for cheap. If all else fails, look online and at your local shops/ mammoth if anyone has used demo skis as you can get a steal on some of these, just make sure they were kept in reasonable shape.
