I know there's a ton of these threads around these forums, but I figured I'd still give people with more experience than me a chance to offer some advice.
I recently snapped my 07 Watch Lifes and need a new pair of skis. I'm a Southern California skier that does trips to Mammoth and Tahoe. I ski 70% park, 20% all-mountain, and 10% powder and would like one ski that covers all these areas.
My skiing style is pretty aggressive… I generally like a STIFF, LIGHT, and RESPONSIVE ski that is quick side-to-side. Closer to symmetrical is preferred (although I know none of these skis are actually symmetrical); I don't want to sacrifice rail/switch performance.
I'm looking in the 90-100 waist category because I do want to be able to take these into the powder (when I can find it)… but I don't want to sacrifice park performance.
Here's the list I'm considering. Remember… stiff, light, and responsive.
Volkl Bridge
Rossignol S5
Surface Watch Life
Line Chronic Cryptonite
Moment Tahoe
