Lookin for an all mountain ski.. I ski a lot of park and I like to cruise. I was lookin at the Rituals, but they're about $700 and the access i can get for about $400.. Does anyone know much about these? +k for good answers. I appreciate it. Oh, and I ski east coast.
 
Neither would be really good options for a "park ski that can ski all mountain". The Ritual is my everyday all mountain ski- 103mm underfoot, full wood core, stepdown sidewall, tip/tail rocker, and titanium inlay. Definitely a charging all mountain ski. The Access is 100mm underfoot, full wood core, stepdown sideall, but no metal and more tip rocker. More of a all mountain/powder ski.

If you are looking for something more park/all mountain, you should be checking out the Blog. That's what a lot of our freestyle guys, like Durtschi, are on for that purpose.
 
Do you know the weight of the longest length dude? I was considering the Ritual as an everyday & touring ski, but still interested.
 
I don't have an weight for the 190cm but it's not super light. That's a good deal of wood and metal... The Access makes for a super fun touring ski, and we also make a flat tailed version with lighter wood called the Charter.
 
Yea, i'm not sure.. and yea, sure that's a lot of wood and metal, but it's titanium.. and titanium is super light. I'm still considering them though, because A. they look dope as shit, and B. I've picked up the 182's and they're not heavy at all. Plus, i'm 6'4"... I need a taller ski.
 
I found some weights eventually. The 182 is 1930g, meaning the 190 will be about 2100-2150g, which is fine for what I'd use it for.
