Ski Thoughts For Me

To be perfectly honest, I'm not as big of a freestyler i thought I was. I'm no good, and frankly sometimes I would much rather ski a groomer than hit up the park. With that being said, whenever I go anywhere out west I really push myself freestyle wise out of the park, whether it be in the glades, or anywhere. I still want a twin tip ski, because I want to remain in the freestyle industry, ski-wise. I just know that I'm not going to be buying a PE style ski, that is mostly designed for park. And i don't want to go to an all mtn. style ski that Salomon makes. I was thinking, maybe Line's 1260 because I've used Line in the past, and I hear they are good all mtn. as well. I love to carve, and I plan on doing that.. I'm 5'11'' 135. I know, I'm skinny (it's all muscle ladies). thanks for reading and taking time for me.

Get a fat, stiff ski if you wanna ski big mountian, I recommend the 4FRNT MSP's, they are twin and very stable. Once your leg muscles adjust you will be better off with a stiff ski

Scratch BC would be perfect for you.

i live in PA, and ski bear creek frequently. i have 180 MSPs. once you get used to the wide ski, the only thing that is harder is skiing bumps. they ski just as well on the groomers we have here, and are much more stable in the park or dropping cliffs and such when you go out west. overall the MSP is a real nice ski, as long as you dont like quick turns.

The PE would still actually be a really good ski for you. I haven't ridden the 05/06 yet but the 04/05 model kicked ass as an all mountain ski.

i was lookin at the 1260. it only has like a 75 cm waist. i have the mike nicks now, those are 86. i dont think it's that big of a deal im not going to be skiing massive powder anyway.. 75cm can hold up in light powder i assume..

what dont you like about the mike nicks? i'd say thats a pretty good ski for you, they ski decent all mtn, decent waist, and rip in the park too.

I'd say any ski thats up to a 100mm waist, cuz that will seriously go everywhere, groomers, park or powder and you'll have a lot of fun. PE's actually fit in that category, they're not a park only ski... so I'd say between 88-100mm at waist, like scratch BC, armada ARV, volkl gotama, k2 pistol or PE, dynastar big trouble, 4frnt MSP, line Mo'ships or prophets,...

Yeah, I rode the Mike Nick in every single kind of condition this season and it was perfect man.

86 isn't considered fat at all anymore, and to be honest, I don't think anyone's even making a twin less than 80 anymore.

wtf? a 1260 is more of a park ski than a PE.

the pe is actually a great ski for the needs you explained. the 1260 will be awful...don't do that.

if you want a big mtn ski that is still capable in the park, look at the prophet 100, new pe, pistol, arv, etc

shit man, of course they are. the pistols kill everywhere and the prophets are just as sick. just becuase a ski is over 90 or 95 in the waist doesn't make it purely a pow ski. i ski 108 waisted made'ns on a daily basis, in the park, groom, etc

fat skis rule the world, everyone just doesn't know it yet haha

I would seriously recommend the pe or the karma. These two skis are all mtn carving skis. They carve great, have enough width to rip in powder, and kill it in the park. These two skis mounted mid sole are exactly what you are looking for. My pe's are my park ski, but on boilerplate days I use them for slaying groomers. They are amazingly stable at speed. I have skied liftline at stowe in 6 turns on them. These are best of all worlds skis.

if you have the cash look at some armada's, the arv's and jp vs. julien are pretty sick, but they would be pretty hard to find around us mang. are the fs and bs that much of a difference in width?
