Hey errybody,
So I am deep in my search for a 50/50 resort/backcountry powder ski for next year and recently discovered Voile's offerings. From what the reviews say, both the V8 and X9 seem to be great performers for low weight. I'm still deciding whether I want a more directional ski or a twin, but both skis fit my criteria of 110mm+ waist, Rocker-Camber-Rocker profile, and low weight (well under my baseline of 2100g). So, I was wondering if anyone here had used either ski, as most of the reviews I've seen are coming from more touring or oldschool perspectives. I would also love to hear any other ski recommendations that fit similar criteria.
My info:
weight: 155
height: 5'8"
Intermediate- expert level
Don't spend a ton of time in the park, but ski pretty much every other part of the front and backsides of the mountain
Boots: likely something along the lines of SCARPA Freedom SL or similar freeride touring boots
Bindings: likely frame (still working on both boots and bindings)
Thanks!
