hey guys! So I need some advice. Looking for a ski that is light weight but also something I can charge on. I do very little park but I still would prefer something twin for landing backwards. also looking for something in the 105 to 120 underfoot range and preferably 190 to 194 length.

thought about the 2020 Candide 4.0s in 194 but I’m afraid they are going to be too flexible. Also Blister reviews say they weren’t very dampening.

Another thing I thought about was the obvious head kore but it only goes to 188 or 89 and it doesn’t have twin tips.

you guys have any opinions on either of these skis or another ski you’d recommend for me?

thanks guys!!

Maybe the Bent Chetler 120? I don’t personally ride this ski as I am a high school student on the east coast but I’ve only heard good things about it.

I’ve heard good stuff about it too. This might seem weird but I can’t seem to get myself to buy a mostly white ski. I feel like it blends into the snow even though that’s like a non issue
