The new Darkside is not a twin-tip. It might have the slightest twin on the tail, but it seems like they decided to make something for speed. I'd like to try it in to see how well it does.

if you mostly ride park, pipe, and groomers, I would think you would want the skogens, unless you want to ski pow a lot, then get the darksides.

i thought the darksides were twin tip, just not as much as lines usually are.

I guess it depends on how tall you are or how much of a ski you like under you. And if the length question is simply about the fact that you go out west once a year I'd just go with the skogens. especially in southern ontario I don't me much fresh powder there lol, I live in Northern Ontario and see none so... Keep in mind of course that this years darksides are more a speed ski with a semi-twin, almost like they made it with skiercross in mind, it comes in 175 and 185 I'm pretty sure.

I'm 6'0 and I ride the 1260s (soon). I don't care how my skis are, my friend is taller than me and he has a 155 Board and 100 Skiboards. Your height doesn't matter, it's just what you prefer to ski. Hell, I was gonna buy the Ghetto Blasters a while back :|
