NEW SKIS

Im looking at some new skis for all mountain/big mountain skiing. Im 5'6 115lbs. I currently ski Armada Ar5s 170. I ski everything from groomers to bumps to powder. I go into the park sometimes but i like cliffs and glades the most. I'd say I am an advanced/expert skier. I have a season pass to Gore/Whiteface, but i go up to Stowe,Killington,Jay,and Mad River sometimes. I also go out to utah every year for a week. Im deffinately looking for a ski with a waist around 85mm. Twin tip or not... It doesnt matter. I've narrowed it down to a few skis.

Im probably 40%Glades 5%Cliffs 15%Bumps 10%Groomed 10%Park 20% Off Piste

Dynastar Legend 8800 168's
Line Pollard Pros 166's
Faction Dilligent 169's
Volkl Karma 169's
Fischer Big Stix 8.6 170's
or any other suggestions

Mad trix mojo. I ski my mad trix all of the time and i love them. I ski them a lot more than my 'all mtn' ski. The mojos are good for everything.

out of those i's say the Pollard is a good bet, i ride a fat volkl, and its awesome, so if the Karma rides anything like the Explosives, theyll be sick

I'm surprised you didn't list the tweaks. i believe they have waist around 85 mm at least...they are great for all mountain skiing, allowing you to be able to carve the groomers, hit the park, grease the rails, ride the powder, and shred the trees....you can even get an edge on ice! you can probably find a shop that demos them...and i would definately try them if i were you!

but is it really the sticks? just pick what you like to do and see if the ski fits those expectations without hindering the other specifications you want on em and voilà!

I just bought myself a pair of 185 Volkl Karmas. They rip all ountain. They are nice and stiff unlike alot of the twin tips on the market now. Even with the 87 waist, i still ski moguls with them and could pop off quick turns in groomers and such. I am the same way, I love big mountian and dont venture into the park that much. The Volkls are really nice cause they give you alot of versatility. They destroy it when the snow is low, and when you get some pow, the 87 waist will still be like heaven. Just buy em now.

Behind your back it goes

A little something like this is way to big to miss....



I heard that Line is putting dust from the moon in their skis to make them not as influenced by the gravity of the earth. Has anyone heard of this new technology?
