mikemI want to hear the skis
Voyage86i want your choice first. i don’t want peoples opinions affected by the exact skis i’m deciding on. i just want to know your philosophy.
mikemId buy the first ski, and then later buy the second one. Im interested tho in what you are trying to progress, is this like a hard metal charger for the second ski?
Voyage86both powder skis in the 110 range, the first is much more of a fun all mountain ski while the second one is a more playful big mountain charger that still does fine for all mountain but can be to much ski at times. (i just demoed the second ski today so ig i can be more precise, just going off reviews for the first ski)
mikemWhat do you have in your quiver? where do you ski?
Voyage86i have head oblivion 94s for the park and i have icelantic pioneer 96s for a super reliable all mountain ski. i’m getting one of the skis in question because i’m moving to colorado next year from chicago. obviously had no need for a pow ski in chicago.

mikemId go for the first ski, you really don't need a stiff charger for CO and softer skis help you progress to someone who can build better technique then a stiffer ski. Think about landing cliffs on a soft ski vs a strong tailed ski. Soft skis you have to land bolts over the boots, stiff skis you can kinda land backseat.
my experience here, and this will be extremes, but i spent like 80 days last year skiing and sending at alta on a vishnu wide. shit was fun as fuck and made me a better skier. When i ski my friends sender free, its just easy mode, bust through anything and land how i want. The confidence and skills i gained from skiing something totally not meant for how it was supposed to be skied transferred over.

NewsheepersYou've built too much tension what are the skis
hamsauceMy guess is BC 110 and Sender Frees
Voyage86which choice would you pick?

Voyage86it was the moment death wish and the sender free
BigPurpleSkiSuitBoth are great options, DW is sick
Voyage86considering what ppl have said here i’m gana go death wish. it can still handle basically anything i realistically throw at it even if it may not be as happy as the sender while doing it.
Voyage86first ski has a little more personality than the bc110 and it’s slightly less playful i think.
