Hey newschoolers!
I'm looking to buy my first pair of twins in the next couple of weeks and would like some thoughts on what skis to get
I'm 5 foot 6/7 (about 175 cm) and weight about 115-130 pounds (somewhere in the 50-60 kg range)
They will most of all be used for urban skiing/small set ups, we don't get a lot of snow here. But I will take them to the park whenever I get the chance to.
My family has a house in Sweden where i will go a couple of times a year, theres plenty of snow but no resorts, i have been skiing nordic in a pretty agressive and unconventional way around that place for 14 years, building jumps, going down tight tree runs, riding the 'channels' made by small rivers and such. I intend to do these things on the TT's as well, even if it takes half a day walking back to the house
I'm looking for a TT that will perform great in the park while still remaining some kind of float in the backcountry(they wont go on huge backcountry trips, only hiking distances so i dont really have a need for huge big mountain pontoons).
I've searched around quite a bit and have so far limited my choices based on ski-specs, budget and availability. I think i will go for as long skis as possible as that is closer to the feel im used to
The models I've been looking at is as follows
Salomon Suspects
Line Masterminds
Line Anthems
Line Chronics(a bit over my budget)
Armada El Reys
Kung Fujas with griffon schizo bindings
Hope you guys can help me out a bit here, i'm new to this whole way of skiing and the equipment so it's kind of hard to figure it all out
