hey guys, I have often stumbled upon this forum, despite being more of a freeski fan than a regular skier, haha. I am looking for an all mountain twintip. I had looked at the faction prodigy or ct's, for example.

I bought some used K2 recoil a few years ago. from 2012, I think.It was fun, but too "park-heavy" and bumpy for me when you were faster. The last few years before corona with rental skis. I was lucky to know locals from downhill mountain biking in summer. So I had the option of good skis.

I don't need top skis, obviously. I ski maybe 14 days a year. Probably less. Even though good skis are always fun.

what are the options you know? there are so many models, quality ideas would help me more.

the ski should not be too narrow and too buttery. to cope with life, i go to the gym. i weigh around 105 kilos/ 230 lbs. ( no, i am not just fat).

Man I have never said this but the bentchetler 100 might be the ski for you. Nothing wrong with the ski just not the ski for this forum.

Sick day 88, if you don’t ski too hard they’ll last, but if you beat them they won’t cuz they’re cheaply made

ARVees 96 could be a valuable option.

On and off, hit some jumps in the park. Do a bad 540. this kind of stuff. Deep powder is rare in Austria/Italy. Even less with 10/356 days probability

Yeah .. they are at the top of my small list. I tried them for a few days the last time. They pretty much fit my description perfectly 😂 maybe I’m biased

i tried them once.

Im not at expert at all, but compared to my old k2s and different other models:

For me, they feel like you „could to anything“, but there a better option for sure for park, powder. For their width, stiffness etc., they turn well and feel playful. A great compromise for me. Maybe not so if want to ride more powder or park. ( if you still stay in the all mountain category). Like an Swiss Army knife, but you got a model without a saw. On here, people might look for the playful Swiss Army knife 😂

The Atomic Bent Chetler 100 is a good call. Also look at the Volkl revolt 104, Fischer Ranger 102 FR, Majesty Dirty Bears...what else...there are a lot of good skis in the 100mm freestyle/all-mountain category.
