tomPietrowskiThey both feel very differnt. The k2 feels muc more like a fatter soft park ski. They were ok and pretty damp but I just find them a little heavy and a bit uninspiring. They are easy to get away with mistakes on but you won't be charging on them.
The rocker 100 feel pretty differnt. It's stiffer and has more pop and just feels more solid overall. They weigh a little less and I prefer the almost give point shape to help reduce swing weight. They feel like a slightly stiffer kettle in my opinion. They would be my choice of the two but I prefer a slightly stiffer ski so I can push a bit more.
CONAIR_BUSCEMIThanks, I have SFB’s and find them fun and moderately stiff under fit but I need something more aggressive for all-mountain east coast.
Are the Salmon Rocker2 108’s or maybe the Line sick day 110’s or supernatural 108’s a good choice for a more aggressive ski for the east?
tomPietrowskiI was a big fan of the sick days. They carve well and certainly feel stable so they could be a good choice. I have not skied the supernatural unfortunatly.
The rocker 108 is an interesting one its more a naroow pow ski and rides much more like a floaty surfy ski. They are certainly not a charger on groomers but can be a ton of fun to mess about on
CONAIR_BUSCEMIThe SFB’s are pretty surfy, would they be similar to the Salomon 108’s.
For Jay peak pow and for aggressive tree skiing would you pick the Salomon 108s or Sick days?
tomPietrowskiNo the sfb has a much softer feel throughout and its early rise rather then rocker. The 108 has a large symetrical rocker tacken from the rocker 122. This larger rocker means salomon can keep the ski overall stiffer but you will still get as good if not better float as the sfb. They will feel differnt as the rocker has a shorter effective edge so a shorter turn radius and just feeling like a snappier ski which you can pivot really easily. The larger rocker and short edge do make them less ideal as a charger and makes them a much better playfull option.
