I’m looking at the 2020/21 reckoner 102 or the 2021/22 poachers 98. Both 177.

There both the same price only difference is the reckoners would online vs the poachers from a local ski shop

Poacher is 96 not 98 so 6mm difference between the two underfoot, not 4.

Reckoners if you want a little softer in the tips and tails, poacher if you dont. Poacher more pop IMO cant go wrong with both.

Reckoners are a ton of fun but pretty soft and not a durable as the poachers.

I blew up a pair of reckoners and I only took MAYBE 25 park laps this year.

Not similar skis at all. Poachers are ridiculously heavy and super stiff. Reckoners are wider, super light, and very flexible. Reckoners have durability issues and Poachers will outlive you and your children. The stiffness and heaviness of poachers is actually nice, they feel very stable and controlled, reckoners I tend to wash out on a little more.

Poachers aren't THAT heavy. Luckily we haven't warrantied any reckoners this year like we did last, I think they fixed a lot of the sidewall issues they were experiencing.

I got last years but tbh, regardless of durability, I’d prob buy again. Too fun of a ski I can’t even lie. Also I haven’t had any issues with durability so idk, maybe I got a beast pair

Poachers are one of the heaviest park ski on the market right? The guy selling them to me claimed that at least
