Hi guys,

Recently i demolished my Faction Candide 1.0. ski's. I liked them in the park but their performance in the powder was obviously under average. For my new pair of ski's, I'd like to go for a pair that is more powder oriented but that can still survive in the park. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeroen

maybe some line blends or sir francis bacon would be good, or kartel 98/108.

I'd definitely recommend the kartel. I have the 98 and I love mine. If you want better park performance go for the 98, for better pow performance get the 108

These are what id go with, my man here hit the nail on the head. I've ridden the ARV 106s and they felt just like a park ski but preformed awesome in the fluff as well. SFBs were my dailys last year and I loved them. The old 108 version is better IMO because they're a bit softer and a bit more floaty (wider dimensions). I've always wanted to try the Kartels and may pull the trigger on some for next season but im not sure yet. For what you're looking for, the Kartel 98s would be a great option based on the reviews I've seen.

You could go with candide 2's, line blend, kartel 108 or 98, J vacation, Fatypus m5 or l-toro i have the m5 and theyre super fun in the park and they can really rip everywhere, super light. My brother has Jeffery 114 but theyre not made anymore closest thing is kartel 116.
