Replying to J Skis vs Bentchetler
Very average skier. Used to be a good snowboarder and switched over a couple seasons ago in my 30s.
90% cruising icy groomers around Wisconsin, with a trip out west every other year-ish.
Need to replace my old '08 K2 silencers (yikes) - They work but are like a 86mm waist, traditional full camber, only a 176 length, and getting beat up.
Was looking at the J Skis Vacation to play on and try to make the midwest more fun, plus a bit wider, but I think I'm kidding myself and will just continue to cruise, so leaning more in the direction of the J Skis Hotshot/Masterblaster or Bentchetler 100/110.
I'd like something around or over 100 underfoot for versatility out west when I make the occasional trip.
I'm 6'1" 198lb weightlifter, so I don't think I'm super worried about handling the wider width on hard snow (?) but definitely open to suggestions besides those listed.
