Skis similar to the Amplid Rockwell

[cameron_taylor]

Hi all

Am looking for a ski similar to the now sadly discontinued Amplid Rockwell but in a longer length than 182. Been on this ski the past two winters and love it to death but it is a good amount too short for me sadly (6'5, 85KG). Started skiing the Moment PB&J in a 188 this winter and whilst it is a really fun ski, I find myself missing the Rockwells regularly. I ski probably 60/40 all mountain/park, consider myself an expert skier and these would be my day to day skis for skiing in various resorts in Europe.

Cheers guys

Check out the gear rumors 20/21 thread, Armada and J skis I believe, are both coming out with relatively short radius freestyle skis in that width category.

Can you explain what it is you like so much about the Rockwell and other skis you like or dislike?

I really enjoyed skiing them because I felt that no matter how I felt like skiing i.e. chilling and buttering and jibbing about, flying around making a variety of size turns on hardpack, tree skiing, and I could even take them into some steeper and narrow couloirs and they were still fun in powder despite their size. Specific things would definitely be their turning radius and edge hold (I love being able to rally really tight turns on hardpack with ease), their flex (they felt really easy to butter although this could definitely be the fact they were very short for me so easy to throw my weight way over the tips and tails) and they were really poppy and felt super easy to control whilst spinning off jumps.
