Replying to Looking for a ski for COC
So im saving up to go to Camp of Champions this year and it seems my skis will all be trashed by the end of this year. I am not really sure what to expect for conditions up there but if its anything like windells from what i hear my skis will be destroyed from all the rocks, i do realize they are in different areas so i really dont know what to expect. I am going there to focus on my jump progression as Im not to good in the air. I am looking for a new ski to buy for the trip. im sued to a more playful ski with rocker but i also know camber is more stablem and better for jumps.I had a few skis in mind (#1 being my best option)
1. Surface park blanks - they are stiffer for jumps and a price point ski so i wouldnt care if they broke
2. J skis whip it- not as cheap but i do work in rental department so i get 20% off, have heard of edges being junk so im a bit skeptical
3. salomon nfx- seen lots of pros riding them and ik they are jump specific, heard bad things about their durability
4.armada t halls, ar7 or pipe cleaners- feel like the pipe cleaners would be a bit overboard for my style of riding heard good things about their company though
4. moment vice- love my vices now but i wouldnt want to buy a new pair and destroy them right away. Anyone hear anything about the frankenski and its triple camber
5. on3p presters- love my fr's and look forward to buy another pair, figured their presters would be awesome to
after coc i will use this ski for rails to so i dont want anything that is notorious for bad edges that will last me a week into next season
Each ski gets more expensive which makes me hesitant to spend a lot of money on them for a summer ski camp. like i said mainly gonna focus on jumps so i want something that will grip and be stable. im 5'11 and 185 pounds current set ups are 178 moment vice and 176 on3p filthy rich. Open to other suggestions for skis or feedback, Id like to stay loyal to on3p and moment cause their skis have been great but they may not fit what im looking for in my current situation. looking for any info on jump specific skis and on Coc and what to expect . let me know what you guys think or have for ideas. +k for helpful responses
