Hi all,

So I just had my last season on some 2011 SFB's, and they are probably the nicest ski I've ever ridden. Super poppy with a good flex, and I could ride them on literally everything. Back then these skis were only offered in a 184, so I was pretty bummed when I thought I'd have to find a new everything ski. Then I came across the Candide 3.0's and thought I was saved! They look crazy rad. Continuing on–I recently discovered that the SFB's come in a 190 now. So here's the predicament. Should I buy the best ski I've ever ridden again? Or switch to a new brand and an increasingly popular ski. I really can't decide. HELP!!!
 
I do some Ski The East freeride comps and theres always a guy on podium with them. i demoed a pair mid february this season and almost bought a pair. One of the most nimble skis on the market. Floaty in pow, carves like GS ski, and is kinda stiff so you can rip anything mother nature hurls at you. 3.0 all the way!
 
Just rode this past season on 182 SFB's, and by far they are the best ski I've ever owned, demoed, or rented. Definitely go with the SFB's
 
Similar question as I am between the same two skis, how well do the Candide 3.0 ski groomers or crud without camber underfoot?
