Double Times! I've heard nothing but great things about them. I had the Watch Lifes and didn't enjoy them as much as most people do. But a lot of people on here have good reviews about those too.

If you have One Lifes, that'll manage as your all mountain ski ( I used it for everything the past 2 seasons).

With that being said, go with the Double Time. The 90mm waist should still excel when it comes to soft snow.

I'll have a pair this winter as my all mountain/park ski (60% park, 30% all mountain).

Double Times for sure man! they're a sick ski, and they'll do well all over the mountain. got a fresh pair for this year, pretty stoked.

Just to play devils advocate, I skied park on my Watch Life's all year and I loved them for that. I like a stiffer and wider ski so they were perfect. It comes down to personal preference.

a good skier should be able to rip in pow with a 90mm waste

Just wondering, why should you get the new ones? I am looking at these two and I feel the new double times are just a little out of my price range, is there anything wrong with last years model?

Nothing is wrong with last years, they decided to beef up the No Times, and they beefed up the Double Times too, Just for good measures
