Title says it all, I’ve been looking at them and a while I’m 5’9” 135lbs I love my 132 hellbents but I like to jib and don’t want to tear them up. Thoughts on the reckoner or another super playful twin tip pow ski?

It jibs pretty good for a ski it’s size, I just don’t want to trash a pair of skis that are discontinued

I think the Catamaran would be closer than the Reck122 in terms of flex and feel. Both are super fun though.

Are those full twin tips? Eco says they’re partial but I know they’ve been wrong about it on other skis

Cat is pretty much full twin, Reck is a little lower in the tail, think 50mm instead of 80mm, but never had any problem with switch landings with the 122 (though it's rare I do that shit anymore). I'll get you comparison pics in a bit.

Cats are definitely heavier, way more rockered, but the Reck has more of a spine and can handle variable snow better. I actually prefer the Cat in spring for the fun factor, it's bouncy yet damp in the right areas. Reck will handle a little better and be more stable on the way back to the lift.

Both are good options for what you want and the Reckoner is still on the market. It's getting harder to find Catamarans.
