I am thinking about getting the 1080 foil's for my next pair of skis. I currently have some old 1080 thrusters, that i bought used a while ago. I really like how the thrusters perform on the groomers, in the park, and in the bumps , but i have never tested the foil, so I don't know how they compare. I did some searching, and it seems that the foil is a good all mt ski. I do about 50% park 50% groomers, bumps trees etc. I was looking at the chronics as well, but I am light, 5 foot eight, and like a little over 120lbs. I think maybe the softer flex in the foils would be better. My question is if the foils will be a good, slightly stiffer, all mt ski that is still nimble, and easy to throw around like the thruster. Other wise I might just get a new pair of thrusters or chronics.
 
If you can swing it go for the Karmas.

My friend has foils and he likes them for all mtn. but he has only been skiing for 1 year and doesn't really do much.
 
I have last years 1080 foils and LOVE them, they are great for the woods, the bumps, and they're relatively wide which is great for crud. The only thing I didn't like them for was the park, a bit bulky for me when it came to ollieing and such... I'd go for the foils for all mtn, but grab a park ski so you can ruin the edges w/o losing any all mtn performance..
 
Well I have my old thrusters for beater skis, but when i go to the mt, I do a run and, then a park run etc. I dont just carry my old skis on my back, so I can't really switch off while Im there. I need skis I can use the whole time. I probably am going to go with the foils.
 
the seth is a little big and heavy unless your doing backcountry pow shots, I wasent a fan of the chronics with that weird line binding setup, i just didnt like the way they skied in steeps and powder. I ski old scratch 168's and im 150 5'11, i rock those pretty much every day, work great on groomer and awesome in the bumps.
