Hi, I'm new here
I'm looking for twin tip skis, wich can be used on pist for carving and making speed
I have the need for speed on the piste , but I'm eager for "stunting" onpiste and offpiste...
So ... is there a perfect allmntn ski (with a twin tip please) , or wich skis come close to those demands ?
thanks in advance

The Prophet 100s carve really well. I did not get them for it but was surprised at how they perform.
A little hard to keep the edge in the snow at higher speeds though. Tried them through an icey race course. Tend to skip a bit.
Also. Last years Line Assassin MTX pro is this years Prophet 80. Same specs.

mine carve great at high speeds.
i'd suggest head mojo 80s, they are very stiff and carve like a racing ski.

I don't know... in a lot of threads asking these kinds of questions I have to assume based on some of the answers that a lot of people haven't really ever been on a ski that really carves rather than pushes through turns.
There's a huge difference, and from first hand experience I can say that I couldn't get the foils to "carve". That's not to say I couldn't make stable turns on them, but carve they did not.
Who knows.
