was wondering if anyone has had experience on the whitewalker 116s on hardpack. Wondering if they’d work for a west coast daily driver

I skied the jj everyday in the Wasatch for years. Now I ski mostly the revolt 121 and it handles groomers just fine. Obviously the softer the corduroy the better but it has a tight turning radius and shreds. I imagine the the whitewalker acts similarly.

They work pretty well, super fun everywhere. Only thing I'd note is that if you like hitting rails daily, edges are on the thinner side.

I love the WW 121 on groomers as well as powder, so the 116 would probably be just fine.

WW116 is rad as fuck on hardback. If it's even a little bit soft you can get high edge angles so easily
