Replying to I know it's early BUT...
I need new skis next year. Yeah, that's right. So lets get down to the basics.
-6'1
-155 pounds ( yeah, I'm skinny, I know)
-Agressive all-mountain skier.
-60% all-mountain
-20% powder ( 15 cms fresh and up)
-10% park/playing around.
I currently am riding 04/05 Scratch B.C's in 176 and 06/07 Nordica Blowers in 185. As you can probably guess, I'm looking for a replacement for the Scratch. My Blowers will be perfect for the big days and the soft days. What I'm looking for is a ski that will be stable underfoot, I don't liek a noodle, and soemthing that will be soemwhat easy to trick on but also venture off into various snow types and such. I found my Scratchs to be a COMPLETE noodle, although they are way to small and the core is probably messed up.
I'm currently thinking of three skis:
Surface Watch Life 181
Scott P3 184
Scott Punisher 182
As a side note, I am QUITE fond of Surface and would prefer to end up on those, but I could probably get the Scotts for cheaper AND I wouldn't have to get them shipped to me. I just want to know if the Surface's are worth it.
So please, anythign regarding any of these skis, or any other recomandations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
