VT_scratchI would debate that you lose performance just to get a lighter setup. Try skiing the G3 empire 115's inbounds on all your favourite cliffs and hits on a pow day. I think you'll redact that statement!
But yes you're probably right to a large extent. There are probably a handful of light and weaker carbon touring skis if you charged to charge too hard on you may damage?
tcurleThe only reason you can charge on that skis is because it has metal, and it's not as light as the typical touring skis that people are referring to. The generic light as fuck skis use carbon to compromise for the weight and don't use titanal. You can also ride most of these skis in bounds on a pow day if they have rocker because most skis with a wide width and rocker will probably do pretty well in pow. The performance I meant is the hard driving all terrain feel that you can get back from a ski on hardpack and unforgiving snow.
tcurleWhen people pick up my skis that have a lot of metal and pivot 18's they immediately say "wow these are heavy" but no shit they're going to be heavy if you want those materials and an in bounds performing ski the weight will benefit you. If you're touring you sacrifice the performance of the ski to benefit from a lighter set up.
SteezeOnAJawntK2 isnt really ontrack. The marksmans are heavy af
CalumSKIHeavy skis= good
SteezeOnAJawntThats facts, Their fun in everything except park, theyre just hard to get around, but even then the challenge is fun
CalumSKIIt isn true
Light skis are good old for the up hills but make you feel really uncomfortable on the descents
