Freestyle skis or all-mountain?

Question

I am an advanced skiier, I am not particularly fond of moguls but I'd like to get better. The likelihood that I'll be on the half-pipe in my lifetime is very very slim. However I do love speed and enjoy learning easy tricks like small jumps and on the snow 360s (which I've almost got down). Is a freestyle ski too much for me? Would it make a difference in anything I do or do I just need a basic all-mountain (which is what I have now). I am looking at the Salomon Mynx or the Jewel Jade. Any brand recommendations and advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I have twin tips, they r good for all mountain, fine on moguls, fun to jump with. Only thing would be with speed they flap about a bit which is kind of sucky.

All mountains are probably fine for ur needs

Answer 2

Nope i used freestyle skis before i started getting that good.

I would recoment Line but that only because im sponserd by them so of coarse i think they are the best k2's are good too though.

goodluck

Answer 3

Freestyle skis really work well as all-mountain skis, so I'd say they're the best choice for your situation.  In terms of brands - I don't know too much about women's skis, but my favourite men's freestyle skis are K2 or Salomon - strong carving skis that float pretty well in powder.

Answer 4

If you want to get better at the moguls and are planning on skiing them a lot in the future I would recommend freestyle skis.  If you have plans to go off jumps and try tricks then make sure they are twin tips.  You will be fine with the freestyle ski a good freestyle ski is just as good as an average all mountain ski on the flat snow.  As far as freestyle skis I am on a freestyle skiing team and a lot of us have K2s

Answer 5

Man i know EXACTLY what you need. There are these things that are twin tips and all mountain skis. They are called All Mountain Twin Tips. K2 makes the best all mountain twin tips in my opinion. Depending on your hight there are 2 different skies you may want. If you are tall enough get the missdemeanor or if you are short get miss conduct. Here are the links:

Answer 6

I am an advanced skiier and i do small- medium jumps/moguls.  I have K2 True Luvs and i like them a lot.  they are kinda heavy though when you carry them.
