Last Minute Ski Options

nmwninjartWhich resorts in MN?
I believe after the V presale orders are processed Emmet puts more on the site. Not sure on the timing though.
Do you still have old skis to get by until you can find new ones. If our weather ever decides to get cold we could be skiing in a couple weeks!

rojo.grandegood ol vishnu wet

Dlonettiyou wont have to spend 500 if you dont want to, put some of that to bindings or something else. for your size armada arv 88s in 176 would prolly be a good option especially if youre just getting back into it. Theyre on Eriks for $275 rn

Teddy_SweetsI’d also say wets but it’s too late for him to get a pair

rojo.grandeWhat? Second round of orders is happening soon

cmaebreaDo you know when these drop? I suppose I can just check the ig stories.

All of those are sub $300 or just over leaving cash for a decent binding? I can't find any hot deals on binders on a quick search.

Teddy_SweetsWas it just me who thought vishnus only dropped once during the spring and I couldn’t get my hands on a pair js because I never checked in the winter 😭🙏

cmaebreaI will be riding buck this season. I have a pair of surface royales that are missing their edge underfoot on one of them. They’ll hold out for the small parks where speed isn’t an issue. They are also too short (172).

JibbcoreGo to the gym and pack on some size and they feel light

K-Dot.Some of us aren’t fatties or super tall. Someone like max moffat makes bdogs look fun because he’s six foot (183cm) riding a 180 (178cm in reality) ski. I’d rather ride something as tall or taller than me that weighs what a park ski should instead of sizing down because it weighs and swings the same as a 105 underfoot all mountain ski. B dogs are the only ski I’ve encountered with this issue, Arv 96s are the same general dimensions and have a similar weight to most other park skis their size which is noticeably lighter and funner if you aren’t a big guy like op stated. B dogs are a uniquely heavy ski that not everyone vibes with

JibbcoreBro makin up excuses hit the gym
hahah im joking but i know arvs are lighter than bdogs but bdogs are more fun for butters and jibb. But still i think its a little corny to complain about ski weight theres like 400 gram different at most and thats nothing Ive hit the park on Armada jj

K-Dot.Anyone can ski any terrain on any ski, that’s not the point of what I’m saying. It is the last of a dying breed of heavy 90 something underfoot park skis, just look at how the poacher has been updated to the omen this year and shed some weight. It’s not that they’re bad skis, it’s that every other brand is offering something lighter (and often wider) for a pure park ski at this point because they're just plain more fun in the park, especially if you’re built like a twig like op.

I’ve hit park on 122 underfoot pow skis that are 10cms taller than me and dropped cliffs on surface auburns. The ski ultimately doesn’t matter as much as the skier but I’d be lying if I said that those were the funnest, best options for what I was doing. No amount of exercise is gonna change that.

JibbcoreNo shit but i suspect you skip leg day

K-Dot.I trail run about 10 miles weekly, usually 2-4 miles four times a week and do a 6 mile lsd run like every two weeks. It’s ridiculous to assume everyone not riding skis as heavy as those, which is the majority of park skis available, is just a weakling lol

JibbcoreBro you dont get strong legs from running start squatting

K-Dot.Everyone that doesn’t subscribe to your narrow perception is actually just a massive pussy, my bad for not being a complete regard like you 🫡

someone else said it, but I’d look at these options. Haven’t ridden a surface ski but look pretty fun. Read the descriptions, check out reviews for ones you like.

cmaebreaThanks! My last pair of skis were surfaces and the edges barely lasted a season (and I only went a dozen or so times). I’m very hesitant to get another pair.

I have like 6-7 cracks on each edge underfoot (jibbing in -20 temps probably doesn’t help). I also clipped my edge getting onto a rail a little too early and now it has a rail shaped indent in it. Still rideable but it’s slow as hell with the damage.

NSCrip69What makes you think the edges that are made of the exact same material and thickness on another ski would be any different?
