Guys I’m in a bind. Heading out to park city for 3 weeks from Nz. The real question is do I take my faction prodigy 3.0s or my line chronics.

If she’s pow I’m chasing it all day long with fuck all interest in the park. A few days without fresh and you’ll probably catch me in the park.

Gut says take the factions - but I’ve never run them in the park.

thoughts?

The age old question. Right behind, "yo how many layers are you wearing today??"

Pack both if you have the bag, but seriously why would you be in the park at all if you're traveling all the way from NZ to Utah? Explore the mountain regardless of conditions dude

Have been out before and friend works there so have explored a bunch. I only use to own one set though. Parks are all time there though and that gets my hyped too. Especially compared to my home mountain.


if the choice is there I’m hitting pow all day

I brought my Prodigy 3.0s to Japan last year, had a few days in the park when there was no pow. They worked great on both jumps and rails

what dates are you planning on being here through? a lot of us have been mostly riding our fat skis out here and especially as of recently, might not be a bad idea to bring them along. it doesnt look like it will be super high and dry for a while so powchasing is definitely on the menu right now.

Bro we've got over 300" inches of snow this year so far, with our last storm dropping 60+ inches this last week. Tonight we will get another foot or two as well. Factions will be the choice!

Take the factions. You’ll probably spend less time in the park than you anticipate and even if you do find yourself hitting features a few quick hits won’t destroy them.
