Can’t decide on them just because i heard they are really heavy skis and Im currently riding candide 1s which are kinda light skis so I just wanted to hear som opinions if the poachers are managable for a small guy(174cm,65kg) to throw switchups and spins on rails like i used to on candides.

They’re heavy on paper, don’t get too hung up numbers brotha. I ski Candide 1.0s too and having skied a Poacher in the same size as my Candide, I can comfortably tell you that in the air, they didn’t feel any heavier. They felt more stable in chopped up, variable snow but the swing weight isn’t noticeable. Hope this helps!

I made this exact switch when I broke my 1s, no noticeable difference in swing weight to me.
