how would these handle all mountain for groomers and powder days. Im about 5'8'' and i've been skiing for a couple years now. ive heard they are kinda soft but can they still hold an edge on ice.

I ski on them sometimes..and what size are you thinking? a 176? I found them to be alot more stiff than my 04/05 scratch bc's.

 

[hylandrox]

are they stiff enough to go more then 10mph and not get chatter.

i looked at a pair today. go to your shop and feel them. light and they aren't too flexy

 

[GreatWh842]

yes.....just barely.....not,

they are a big mountain ski, they are light, but they more stiff than the TM, and no, they won't chatter at 10mph,

 

[hylandrox]

how would they compare to the karma.

seeing as you are from hyland hills, what does it matter how they handle powder? i mean are you going to be skiing through the freshly man made snow?

 

[hylandrox]

im not going to be using them at hyland they are mainly for out west.

for out west they will be sick, they have a bigger waste than the karmas, so more float in pow, also, the tail on the big's is a little higher than the tip, not as high as the JPs but much more than the karma, don't get me wrong, i love volkls more than any other ski, the karmas are your 1 ski quiver if you ski park, groomers, crud, powder, bc, and w/ the higher stifness, more sidecut, etc, of karma they turn alot better in anything but powder
