New carbon fiber skis

Never skied on those, but I saw em in a ski shop, and can attest to the fact that they are ridiculously light.
 
not true. its super stiff, so as soon as it gets past its flex point it will deteriorate. it probably wont snap, but it will get really floppy in that one area, because the fibers will loosen.
 
carbon fiber is really strong, its just only really strong in one direction. its used to make plane wings so im sure it could hold up in skis
 
some guy rides em at our resort, but thats all i know. they seem super light, he whips those skis around like its nothing, but they dont seem unstable.
 
there 2 twin tips....

they suck, no one likes them, all the reviews ive heard from the guys i work with at my shop say they suck because they are too light, idk how goo dtheyd be for park though, id like to try a pair
 
no it's not...it's really easy to break...they will snap when you come up short on a box trying to 50-50 it..the tips will probably snap in half
 
look at the scoop 142.... pretty much a carbon fiber spatula..pretty sick...some guy i kno rode em at the bir dand said he loved him in the deep stuff...doesnt even feel like your wearing skis
 
I've mounted a few pairs of their all mountain cabron skis. They're pretty stiff but so light, it's incredible. I put touring bindings on one of them, the guy was stoked on the setup.
 
yet again ppl wrong...carbon fiber is very strong...its really hard to break..over time the fibers may loosen but they wont snap
 
my dad rides them...and he absolutle loves them...and kno they arnt that stiff at all....he says it is the best ski and easiest ski to ride he has ever rode..he says it turns and flexes sooo easy. and yea they are alot of money but i got them from my work at cost so he payed like 450 or 500 for them. and they are comparable to the k2 apache line. but i dunno he loves them and says he will never ride anything else in his life
 
yeah my poles are carbon fiber and they bend like mad without breaking so im just guessing the skis might too? i dont know tho it sounds like a sic idea but just hella bling skrillaz that i wouldnt wanna spend when i could get a sic light all mountain ski for a lot less
 
ok you said up a few posts that once you flex them too far (the goodes) they will detriorate and then they will be floppy. wouldnt the same happen to armadas............. if what you said was true about the goodes im pretty sure it would happen to the armadas also.
 
^dude thats a carbo pontoon!

I did the math and the 182 95mm waist Goode weighs 38% less than the 180 4FRNT MSP the next lightest ski in the category!
 
That way when all those ganstas on the mountain like T-Hall try to pop you, you can block the bullets with your skis.
 
also, i'm a hockey player, had a ton of carbon fiber hockey sticks..broke every single one of them...
 
it looks like everyone has different opinions, it s prolly just a preference, personal opinion. they are really well made skis but you may not like how they ski compared to what you have now
