my first twins were salomon 1080's they are a good ski thats pretty durable. just im a light and shorter rider so i dont know how they would do for a larger taller person
i have some soldiers, havnet used them yet, but they seem to have a good area of view, standing looking straight out i can see the ground that is less then 3ft infront of me.
i sharpen mine before the season and just leave them then, then as they dull i dont really notice it like i would if i keep getting them re sharpened every little bit
