Anyone else really like metal laminates

[galardogod]

My favorite ski of all time is the ARV 96 TI , I like the power behind the ski when charging and the stability in eastern crud. It also has a fun width and a lot of pop for park skiing . On top of that the metal ups the durability. So I am wondering am I the only one who enjoys metal laminates in skis or does anyone else like this?

I really like how metal laminate skis ride. Unfortunate that there aren’t a lot of metal freestyle shaped skis. It seems they are only making very traditional or at best partial twin tipped skis with metal these days.

I have the Ranger 108 ti, and while it is a totally directional ski, you can pop into switch and do some light work. all Im saying is its a madd fun freeride ski

yes peliz on the titanal.

 

[SofaKingSick]

agreed!

it's pretty common in other skis but yeah park skis don't have it very often at all. the arv 96 ti is a boss hog

I like a lot of heavy skis, some of them have titanal, some don't.

Fun fact: some of G3's touring skis have two layers of metal (Sendr & Slayr), but they're terrible in rough snow.

I am super psyched about the J hotshot though. Just weighed some production pairs and they're heaaaavy.
