So I am a little indecisive about what ski I want for next year. You may think uggggh not another one of these threads. Well I would like to apologize in advance.
Alrighty. So the title describes my dilemma. If anyone could give me... Reviews, comparisons so a similar ski, Howell they grip ice and variable conditions, what the rocker is like for either, or basically some pros or cons would work too.
Start here:
Filthy Rich review page: https://www.newschoolers.com/reviews/2169/Filthy-Rich
Whip It review page: https://www.newschoolers.com/reviews/3425/Snowboarding-Is-Cool
They both are about the same with ice grip and carving, the FR has a bit less chatter, but the whip-it has more effective edge. There is more rocker on the FR. The FR is a bit more responsive, the whip-it is a bit lighter. Both have 2.5mmx2.5mm edges and 1.8mm thick bases. FR has a bamboo core (longer life, more damp, snappier), the Whip-It has a mixed hardwood core (more traditional, shorter break in period).
