Looking for a park ski to do everything, I have powder skis, but don't want a soft park specific ski because I prefer jumps to jibbing and I like to ski the rest of the mountain. so bc, pe, foil or gun? Are the guns as soft as the old pr's?

well if u have pow skis that rules out BC and gun, so get the pe cause the foil will be soft

The foils arent that soft. I tried them last year and they were awsome. But it all depends on you. Personnally I haven't tried other models so I can't tell you wich skies to buy.

yes, the guns are as soft as the old PR's because they ARE the old PR's with a grey topsheet. out of the skis you said i'd say go with the PE cuz the foils are softer and you don't need either the guns or the BC's if you already have pow skis.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

Its kinda been around alot and been in a few articles." - TravisMC in a thread where everyone made fun of the creator who asked if chads had been hit with skis. thx alot

I'd go with the foils. The guns and scratch bc are powder skis so you don't need those. I say foils because I like salomon but the pe will be stiffer if thats what you want

I'm leaning towards the pe's. I bought stl's last season, way to soft for me and wasn't impressed with the construction.

PE's are heavy as all hell. If you dont mind a heavy heavy ski, go for it. I'd say Foils for sure.

The new PE's suck hard. The Foil while I'm not a Salomon fan either has a much better flex and is not soft. This is coming from someone who skied both.
