I'm 5'7 and around 130lbs. I've had my salomon foils for a while and use them mostly for groomers and generally messing around on the mountain and I like how they ski in these areas. Park and powder performance does not really matter me. Any recommendations for an twin tip that will perform well all over the mountain because the foils have been discontinued.
 
AR6 171 or 176. they kill it on groomers. if your not going to use them in the park at all (or not much) i would mount them 5-7cm back from true centre.
 
im in the same boat as u im pretty sure the lords are the new foils cept they have a mini rocker on them idk how they ride tho havent realy heard a lot bout them but ill prob pick up a pair of volkl's cause the shop i just got a job sells mad volkls
 
You could still probably find old foils in the online shops. I bet backcountry.com, evogear, and maybe porterstahoe still have them.

Otherwise, you'll need a soft, playful, all mountain ski. Normally, since you said soft, I'd recommend anthems. They still might be okay, but you'd have to mount them center, since they're symetrical and would ski funny otherwise. AR6 isn't a bad choice either.

I was just looking at Salomon's website, and it says the Threat is a cheap, all mountain twin tip. Concur?
 
hmm, what's you guys opinions on the salomon lord or the line prophet 90? I've heard the prophet is quite stiff but I don't mind a stiff ski, is 90 waist too wide for the groomers? I'm mainly looking for a ski that will perform well on groomers because i'm going on holiday to ski (I live in Scotland) with people from work and they usually stick to them.
 
prophets are stiff ya. im not even sure if the lord is a full twin tip. i heard somewhere that it was just semi. id reccomend the scratch ghettoes/S4's in 174. good ski for the park and all mountain. its super light too
