a few opinions would be good here...

ok, I ski about 40% off piste, 20% on piste and 40% in the park. I have the mojo 80 at the moment but will need another ski, coz its not fat enough for stable gs turns and landings in the backcountry.

my second ski therefore needs to be fat enough for this (i think there's no point getting anything with waste less than 90mm as it will be too similar to my mojos to be worthwhile), but still handle ok on pistes...

so i was thinking:

ARV

SETH VICIOUS

BIG TROUBLE

MOJO 90

MOTHERSHIP

SCRATCH BC

GUN

i think arv would be perfect but hate this years' graphic- what does anyone think?

thanx

 
yeah i ski 80% park and 20% jumping off rocks and pow and shit, but i need one ski for next year. my fujas cant handle some of the hardcore glades
 
sorry to commandeer ur thread but i also need help because my fujas only have a few days left in them and i have another 6 weeks of skiing to get done
 
i live in the uk- don't think there's anywhere i can buy msps or prophets. could elizabeths handle a bit of on piste stuff and are they heavy?
 
go Big Trouble... They rock. maybe wait till next year tho cause of the reinforced edges for next year. Dynstar no doubt will handle what you give it.
 
yeah man, i'm inclined to agree wid u- next years looks sick and will i think be perfect for my purposes.
 
elizabeths are a lot of fun on piste, and are great on ice, sucks a lot in bumps. the skis alone are pretty light weight, lighter then my scratch fs.
 
We need your weight/height. Sounds like a Bacon or JP situation, but not if you're tiny.
 
from what you said i'd reccomend either the Rossi Scratch Bc's or the Head Mojo 90's both are awesome skis! i really have liked the rossignol scratch bc's..they have that thc wood core, while the heads have a composite wood core, the bc's seemed stiffer to me, but both skis are awesome! the mojo's seemed a bit lighter, but the scratch bc's seemed more stable...just my opinion tho
 
I just skied the next year BC and they were LIGHT! They are as light as any park skis even with the 98 waist. They are great ski for those who ski park, but like to ski pow when they can. I would get those if I were you. Mothership Flite is also a good choise.
 
i'm about 5 10", 75kg.

i would say i'm a better freerider than freestyler in the bc- drops of less than 20ft, best trick 3 + various grabs or bflips.

thanx 4 comments, i'm sure they're all good options- these francis bacons: how big are they? bear in mind that in europe we don't get many dumps of more than 1-2ft so enormous width not necessary!
 
Go FAT!

If you've got a good all-mountain ski (which mojo 80 is) you'd love a fat ski... they perform ok on groomers and whatnot as well.

I've had a BLAST on my Maden'AK's, even riding them east coast... little heavy if you're spinning quick but a good ski...

The vicious is sweet too... don't be afraid to go fat. Riding that shit in the pow is unbelievable...
 
which is the cheapest twin above 90mm waist?? ski like the seth vicious are nice, but so much fukin money. is the scratch bc the cheapest of those i mentioned?
 
u can't go wrong with the trouble and big trouble makers they are the sweetest skis I have ever skied and they both work great for what they were designed for.
 
brandon becker was skiing elizabeths when i skied with him...he said he liked em a lot. i would go with either line elizabeths or ninthward tha 187
 
i've got mad trix (predecessor to mojo 80), and i bought arvs this year, i love em for cliffs, pow, booters, glades, etc etc. they handle pretty much everything i throw at them beautifully. pm me if u want more info.
