I'm about 5'10" and 185lbs I want to get a new pair of skis for next season, and have narrowed it down to On3p kartel 98s or on3p filthy riches I ski the east coast and am looking for a fun and buttery ski which one would be best for me? And what size would be best for me a lot of people say to size up but I'm used to skiing on a 162 (I definitely need longer skis) but in m a little skeptical on going as big as a 181

skiforce1181 would be fine for you.


I agree, as you get better at skiing more length will never hurt (within reason). I would guess you would like the filthy riches as an east coast ski more than the kartel but I doubt you could go wrong with either of them.

I generally spend most of my time in the park with the groomer lap here and there never any powder I live in central Pa so the most powder we see is about 3 inches

Back country has a some moment vices for 360 bucks would they be a good ski for me? Ive heard some bad things about moments durability but that price is a lot better than a pair of 600$ FR I want a pair of skis that will at least last me all season. Should i get them or just not waste my time on them, and get Fr's?

vice and frs are great. ive heard some good stories on the vices. vices dont have as thick of edges or base, but if you can get them for cheap i would snag them. both skis will be fine

Same material, but different thickness of edge and base. I would say just on personal experience that this can make a large difference, but every skier is different.
