Hey guys, i could use your help:
I`m getting rid of my old touring ski 4frnt raven with a kingpin, because for me being 6‘2, 200lbs the 184cm model with its 104mm waist is just not enough ski (should habe at least gone a size bigger i know). Maybe i‘m spoiled by riding 110mm+ skis basically all season, but contrary to the whole internet i didnt like the raven at all. Everytime the snow got semi bad or i tried to make aggressive turns it failed on me. Maybe its me, maybe the size, maybe its full rocker, who knows.
What i do know is that i want something a little bit bigger: I got a deal for a unused '20 candide 3.0 186cm (the one with the 108 waist) or a vision 108 188cm.
The ski should be primarily used for touring but maybe some resort days too, since i am getting rid of my prodigy 3.0 what i would usually use for this purpose.
As far as i read people really like the visions on here and tend to destroy candides, especially 3s?
The 3s would cost me about 100-150$ less and i love how my candides 4.0s and 5.0s ride.
The visions would be 100-200g lighter, not that this would matter a ton, since i am putting a shift on them anyway.
Would love to hear some thoughts!
