Hi
I am looking for a pair of all mountain skis and need some help. I am 182cm tall and 80kg. I am an intermediate skier looking for an all mountain ski that I can grow into. Looking to do 10/20% park, 30% piste and 50% off-piste (more off-piste as I progress as a skier). Mainly jumps in the park (very little on rails).
I have demoed (on an indoor slope) the Snoops, Shoguns, Lords, Mantras, Kung Fujas and Suspects. I haven't had a chance to demo the Line Prophets or Blends (which I am hoping to do soon). Preference in order so far are 1. Snoops 2 Shoguns 3 Kung Fujas 4 Lords, Suspects and least favourit (the Mantras). It looks like it is between the Snoops, Shoguns and after I try them the Blends and Prophet 90s.
I am a bit concerned that the 100 (e.g. for the Blend, Shoguns) underfoot is a bit too much in the park, little jumps and skiing switch. I am also concerned that a stiff ski (like the Shogun) will not do so well in the park. Would also like to find out more about the Head Johns but I am having difficulty finding info.
Any views on the above skis would be great including others that I should look out for.
cheers
