topic:Ripline said:Hey. Im trying to decide on which to get.
I want something 100-110, very soft and playful, quite a bit of rocker would be nice.
Any experiences with these 2 or others? Try to keep to big brands,
live in a small country in northern europe.
Thnx!!

Granted, shipping to Europe is expensive ($200 flat rate which helps cover our cost of roughly $330 per pair) so you if you don't want to make the investment totally understandable. Had to chime in though because this would literally be the ideal ski for you.
14232850:Ripline said:Hey J! Yes I would love The Vacation. Been looking at it. But it would be 330+200+import tax to norway for skis are about 150, and then 150 more for a couple of marker griffons...so 830....thats really a lot ://
