ya it a gear thread i need to order some shit today for my trip

right now i ride the salomon twenty twelve 2012 171's and they my favorite ski i've ever had.


basically im in virginia so 70% of the year im riding on shit snow so i end up riding park and do some urban.

the other 30% im traveling out west when there is a big storm so i'm riding that fresh pow.
(i also do ski raciing but i dont give a fuck about that really)



so tldr i've heard good things about the supernaturals riding on groomers but hows your experience with them in the park because that is where i spend a majority of my time

thanks guys happy holidays and all that

Supernaturals are more of an all mountain ski than anything else. If you want line, blends are probably a better bet as they are also for all mountain but with a focus in the park.

Yeah, there's a reason supernaturals are on evo while the blends are impossible to find at discount. The blends are a really popular ski with a great reputation but I'm sure if you look around for a couple days you'll find a pair for a decend deal.

I'll keep an eye out for you.

they're a pure freeride ski, full sidewalls, metal laminate directional shape and flex so definately NOT recommended for all terrain and freestyle so from what you're describing don't get the SN. It's a rad ski just not for what you're looking for. The Salo you had if memory is good to me is a full rocker 90-ish waist non-metal ski. Something closer to what you're looking is the Blend or Chronic. thanks and good luck! -jm

I have the blends and they are such a great ski in the park and out but the on thing is they don't have much in the way of rocker so if you want a more rockerd ski look at the k2 shreditors or moment skis or, on3p. If your heart is set on the blends I found mine last year for 350 on all ski barn (2012 model).

I will be trying out my supernatural 92 186's out this monday, the only adjustment is I'll be sacrificing the rails since the supernatural is not a park ski and has a flatter tail so Ill let you know how they ride.
