Hi everyone I'm new here but had a bit of a hunt round and couldn't find anything that answered my question too well. I'm currently running a pair of 181cm 1080s, can't remember which year but i think its like 2 years before salomon started calling them 1080 foils, thrusters etc. It's basically a pretty awesome ski and has done me proud but i'm beginning to ride more powder and a bit more aggressivley and i was wanting something a bit stiffer and maybe abit longer but still with a twin tip if possible. I'm about 6'2" so just under 200cm i think and about 65kg which is about 10 stone. My brother loves his dynastar legend 8800s but hes a fair bit heavier than me and says they're pretty hard work so i was thinking maybe the big troubles as they'd be a bit softer but maybe not quite as soft as my current skis. Any advice or reccommendations on what to look into would be much appreciated.
 
179 k2 seth. 185 rossi scratch bc. Line sir francis bacon (maybe a little soft). 181cm salomon 1080 gun.
 
line bacon would be fun

ARV

both of those are pretty soft but line is really stable with their sidecut
 
this years seth are amazing but might be softer then what your looking for, perhaps look into the scratch Brigade
 
It sounds like this guy is looking for a one ski quiver. Anything over a 95 waist would be stupid.
 
It would be nice to have another do it all ski but i can always use the old ones for other stuff. I don't really want anything thats so similar to the 1080s that it makes no real difference. Does anyone have any thoughts on the dynastars or are all the others a lot better?
 
Just been looking at a few ski tests/reviews and the faction wednesdays sounded pretty cool although summed only very briefly. Anyone got any experience with it?
 
wednesdays are great skis, i rode some for a couple of weeks. i'd say 178 is a little short for you, but it could still work. they're on the stiffer side. think karmas, but a tad longer and wider. great do-everything ski
