Fat ski for all mountain

[steezebeast]

I'm looking for a fattish ski for skiing everything.

I was thinking about the 178 JP vs. Julien or the 4frnt VCT which is 178 I think too.

What fat ski in general is the most versital?

i already have a binding set that I want

those aren't them. plus they are too long

 

[skiRay]

PE, ARV, Karma

 

[steezebeast]

fat skis people...95mm underfoot or up.

those are tiny.

 

[ijibgoremtn]

seth

 

[ski_powpow]

i use the ak over the whole mountain and it crushes it depends where you ski

 

[steezebeast]

tried it and hated it...its a noodle

 

[=nick=]

perhaps next years scratch steeze or brigade. rossignol is always solid

 

[steezebeast]

lol forgot to tell you guys

95-105 underfoot is best some are just too big.

 

[=nick=]

briagade is 98, medium stiffness, seems like it would be a good ski for you

 

[steezebeast]

I'll check both of them out.

The steeze actually looks nice, it has some sidecut to it.

 

[WONTON]

tons of options here....scratch bc wrs, arv, vicious, ak enemy, MSP.

I ride ARVs and they hold there own everywhere, definitely really soft tho but still more than decent at speeds

 

[steezebeast]

is the atomic pimp any good?

 

[hollygrove]

I think they're better now. But check out Nordica Enforcer. 98 waist.

 

[Skipig25]

it's amazing, but you said you wanted a stiff ski, which it is not

 

[steezebeast]

here are a list of skis I'm looking at now:

norica enforcers

rossignol scratch BC WRS

rossignol scratch steeze

armada ANT

armada Jp vs. Julien

4frnt VCT

Atomic Pimp

Prior Originals

Moment Tahoe's

Armada ARV's

I might be willing to try a soft ski but not noodly. Something that can withstand charging.

 

[steezebeast]

btw im 5'8 and a half and 135 lbs.

 

[hollygrove]

ants are 191....

 

[steezebeast]

well then i'll take the ANTs out of the list.

the nordica enforcers look REALLY good

so do the pimps but i dunno if I would like their flex

 

[steezebeast]

[Mex_LineJib^a]

prophet 100.. it's amazing

 

[Fish_Sandwich.]

AK enemy's

I heard they were ill.

 

[hotdog.garbage]

the prophets or the nordica enforcer/blower are pretty sweet.

 

[cobra_commander]

I have some fisher Kehuas 177 yu could have for like $80. need some repair done but in good condition other then that.

 

[[sebastian]]

175 VCT's $240 shipped flat, with px12's for $320. Used 5 days. You can definitely charge on these, the radius is pretty big.

 

[skiRay]

i guess the PIMP gor really great revievs in the freeskier buyers guide so... look into it

ANT might be a tad big for your height and weight. though the JJ might suit you very well.

the Atomic Pimp was fuckin awesome this year, and its getting fattened up next year, im excited for it. think it has alot of promise for an all mountain fatty ski. good for everything.

the ARV is very soft, you said you didnt like the seths because they were noodles. the ARVs are softer than the seths, so you might wanna think again on those. the JJs are also soft, but longer, so whatever.

Scratch BC WRS has gotten awsome reviews as an all mountain ski. does everything well really, just make sure to get the right size for your kind of skiing.

those are the skis i know and some i have ridden, but if you dont like the seths, dont get the ARVs. much softer. i own the 179 seths, and think theyre to soft, and ridden my friends 185 ARVs and they dont perform any better.

 

[steezebeast]

thank you

do you know what width the pimp is going to be?

 

[Sholte]

vct, so much fun, lizzys so much fun

 

[Pawelko]

next years are a 103 underfoot, this years are a 99

 

[MALONE]

Jp's have almost no sidecut and suck out of the pow, VCT are 4frnts and thats never good. For what your looking for the Seth is for sure the best ski.

 

[steezebeast]

yeah but theyre too soft

 

[MALONE]

if your skiing a 180ish ski, and the SV is too soft for you?!?! get the 89's Im 6'3" aboout 180lbs and I ski a 179 everywhere.

 

[steezebeast]

im looking for a more 175 cm long ski but whatever works will work...

I didn't like the seth this year. I was skiing the 169 seth as a demo which was a too short and way too soft but I think a 179 might be too long...yet if I grow a lot over the summer I don't want to have them be too small.

Can someone list the skis that I listed a couple posts earlier in stiffness order?

 

[powpow***]

wut about the seth

 

[Kungris]

Get scratch BCs, they seem to the perfect ski for what your looking for.

 

[steezebeast]

yeah thats what I'm thinking

maybe the steez's once they come out

or the nordica's

such a tough decision

 

[Rooddss]

AK's bro, their freakin awesome, they kill it just about anywhere, their tanks

 

[steezebeast]

I've narrowed it down to:

Dynastar Big Troubles

Nordia Enforcer's

Rossi Scratch BC WRS

Armada JP Vs. Julien 178

K2 Seth's (I'll check them out one more time since I found a mad good deal)

 

[MALONE]

Dynastar Big Troubles-not really fat at all and crazy stiff

Nordia Enforcer's- no clue

Rossi Scratch BC WRS- will delam

Armada JP Vs. Julien 178 - almost no sidecut

K2 Seth's (I'll check them out one more time since I found a mad good deal)-GET EM!

 

[steezebeast]

i like stiff skis

and how do you know the rossis will delaminate

 

[MALONE]

there rossis its what they do.

 

[steezebeast]

bump...anyone going to list those in flex order?

 

[quattro179]

maybe i am missing something. but no one has said gotamas...

 

[steezebeast]

yeah theyre not that good for freestyle, I demoed them.

 

[steezebeast]

bump

 

[skithebigA]

if you like stiff skis then dont get JJ's they are so soft, try arv maby

 

[fouldsys]

word scratch bc orr brigade would be good for you. prophet 100, i heared seths kill it all mountain as well.

 

[chrismoJBEATS]

dude, seths, they are the most fun skis i have ever riddden
