You are going to see an explosion of tiwn tips on the slopes and on groomers...tons of newcommers and average people are gonna be riding twins...everyones gonna have one, or get one pair before the seasons over...i even hear that people are learning to ski on them...so thats definitely what your going to see next year...no doubt about it...
 
Definitely more fat skis, even older people are starting to transition.

Probably more skis in the Bandit B3 vein of a wider do-it-all ski.

But yeah, maybe not symmetrical or true twins but most people will be on twin tips.
 
ya ive seen a few old ppl with fatskis and they said they love them and would never go back and like on the chair old ppl always ask about our skis there like what brand are those how do u like them and all that shit
 
coming from an instructors POV starting on twin tips is stupid. the construction of the average twin tip is designed for a level 7 and up skier not a begginer.
 
How does the level system work??

Whenever I am not on a park chair, I always have older and younger skiers inquiring about twin tips and good companies and models.

It's hard to direct them to Ninthward, because it's a hard to find and relatively expensive company, so I usually say Line, K2, or Rossignol.
 
but alot of kids are also getting into snowboarding like all the kids that think its the best shit and there so good but they suck ass
 
I skied Line darksides for 2 years (not a true twin) then got Volkyl Karmas last year. HOLY COW... I bought them for our western trips and it ended up being my every day ski. I still pull out the SL and GS skis for fun groomer days.

I believe that twins gained a larger market share of the skis sold last season. I too predict that they will continue gain an increased market share. An untapped market is us old people. I watched other racing parents looking at me enviously as I was skiing backwards away from race fences. It won't surprise me to see them on twins next season.
 
i did that one day. the liftee stole one of my poles because it had no basket so i rode with one. sliding rails and stuff, good times
 
its already startin to happen at hood,, i always see this old ass ladies riding 1080 guns and other fat twins just takin turns down groomers. Its cool and all but someone else could put a hell of a lot more use to those skis.
 
i've seen a 90 year old man on salomon guns. twins are being skied by all ages but directional skis are still better at going down the mountain
 
i know i didnt mean that people starting park shouldnt have twins but the people who dont know skiing and think their the shit because they have twins
 
i think that more kids will wanna keep snowboarding, but any kids that ski who dont already have twins will get some, and for the snowfalls, nc where i ski will suck like ususal, utah will get like 600 inches like usual and colorado will be average
 
all the kids at blue have tips unless they're 5 and if they dont will get some next season and the snoboarders think there the shit but i have respect i ski with a couple boarders for the weather it will suck like always at blue
 
i think theres gonna be a lot more girls showing up with roxy twins that have no idea what they're doing but wanna be cool
 
I think it'll start the year after. Our mountain is only getting it's first park comp. next year for skiing so after that, I think more people will join in. It's going to happen no doubt.
 
This is from Ski Area Magazine.

As has been the case for the past few years, Alpine ski sales have been trending toward integrated systems. Alpine skis, excluding integrated systems, fell 14 percent while integrated systems jumped 31 percent. Twin-tip ski sales continue to grow, up 26 percent in dollars to $7.9 million. However, junior ski sales declined 15 percent. For junior products overall, only shell tops increased, up a whopping 50 percent.
 
my prediction is your an idiot...everyone is trying these new rolleblade/skis..they have snow wheels with a rad gap so you can lock onto sweet GRINDZ and pull sweet outta the meat holder acrobatics...

My prediction for 06/07 is that you're gonna learn how to NOT use caps lock when you make thread titles, you fucking douchebag.
 
Shut up dumbass, even though you probably think you are "too cool" for a rating system doesn't meant that his post wasn't valid, and very true.
