Replying to Should I buy these skis? (Surface The Upper)
After my most recent pair of park skis broke (173cm K2 Sight x Iron Maiden) I’ve been looking for a beefier, sub $300 option to replace them. Some things I’m looking for are: a bit more length (175-185cm) and width (95-105mm) so that my skis can finally be competent outside of park and soft groomers, but still be whippy and agile for park. If I could afford 2 pairs that would be ideal, but I can’t. I’d also want enough flex that they can be buttered/nollied as well as decent durability. So basically a ski that can do everything without being too good in one area. What are your thoughts on a 176cm Surface The Upper? I see lots of people mention The Daily, The Royale and The Outsider but not anything about The Upper. Would it too feel heavy and wide for park? I’m 6’0” and 165lbs.
