Which Ski(s) to keep?

Hey Guys,

i´m not sure what to do with my skis.
I own a Punx, 4frnt cody and a pow ski, but its annoying to carry around all three skis if going skiing.

The punx is awesome in the park, but i dont really like it anywhere else on the mountain. My Codys are mounted at -5 so they are fun all around mountain, but i dont really like them in the park.

Now I was thinking that i could sell my punx and remount the cody closer to or even center, that i can take it all the time if there is no pow.
Does that make sense or should I just keep all of the three skis?
If I remount the cody, should i mount them center?

I rarely ski park the entire day, so everything besides railing the groomers is not much fun on the punx...

Cheers from Austria and merry christmas

I'd keep em all, just decide which ones you're gonna use most before you go on a trip then take them, that or you could sell two pairs like your pow and codys and get something that does both, like the Line Blend???

Although i wouldn't recommend remounting the codys centre, theres a factory recommended mounting point for a reason.

Hope that helps, happy skiing!

How about you sell your punx and codys and take the better bindings from one of them and buy something like the candide 2.0, shreditor 102, kartel 106 etc. have these mounted closer to center then you can rip all mountain and park! I would say keep your pow planks seeing that you live in austria and i know you guys get quite a bit of snow so best of luck.

Interesting idea.
I thought the Cody could function like a Blend/Shreditor 102 if mounted closer to center. Am i wrong here?

The Pow Skis i will keep for sure, its more like i wanna thin out my quiver to 2 skis: 1 for the good days and 1 for piste/park

Appreciate any other suggestions!

Yes i feel like that could work, but why remount them when you could sell those and the punx and get something even more tailored to your liking. Just my thoughts but i feel like then you have a optimal ski for what you want to do. And maybe even some leftover cash!

I would remount the codys and see how you like them in the park and if it changes your view of them all mountain. If you figure out you don't like them, sell them both and get a new setup.

Sounds like a pretty good idea.
Only problem i have here: it will probably be harder to sell them if they are mounted twice already, hm?

Why not just remount and not sell 2 skis for 1? Then just look at the snow conditions before you go. Chances are you are going to be able to decide or at least leave one ski at home.

Well I think you need to read read hahaha.

The real original question was asking if he should get rid of a pair, or just remount. So I answered his qeustion with my opinion.

So sir....I believe you are the idiot, and you need to go read read the original question.

honestly dude, i would keep all three. i have 3 pairs too, and just take the codys and punx if its snow under thats like 8 inches fresh and under, and then the pow boards and codys when its more snow than that. i do that and it works fine

I've heard the Cody is good at 2.5 if I remmember correctly.

yes sir. A three ski quiver is prime. I do the exact same thing as you. That's what I meant when I said you could narrow down your skis for the day.

This is my vote too. A 3-ski quiver is the minimum you want to have, if you do want to have a quiver. Pow boards will be the least used part of the quiver since a ski like the Cody (100mm waist) are still fun on a pow day even if you show up to the mountain and there is more snow than expected. And the Punx you should keep just for the park and for dicking around when it hasn't snowed in 2 weeks.

And, since you are skiing in central Europe, get yourself a pair of 183-188cm GS boards (non-FIS shape) for those days when it hasn't snowed in 2 weeks and you still want have fun and scare yourself at the same time.
