So i'm looking to buy twin tip skis?

Question

I love skiing and have been doing it for 6 years now. I'm advanced and wanna get into the park more. I am looking at twin tip skis. I wanna be able to use these skis for park and also be able to handle the double blacks that i also enjoy. I have Head Monster skis rite now and they are GREAT! im looking at the following skis. (also open to other ski recommendations but i also need binding recommendations!)

Answer 1

rossie scratches are good skis, I've got a pair right now and the are good.

mine are an 06 model and there pretty good compared to what you can get now so I would go with the scratches.

and if you can ask the person your buying from if they have any GOOD rossiel bindings.

ive heard that line anthems are pretty good, they got a good graphic of a wolf or something, and they should be good in the park.

if you like hitting big kickers and stuff but you don't have the confidence to go fast and you nuckle it, some flexible skis would be good(not sure how flexible scratches are).

Answer 3

Never be fooled by the price of the ski to build quality. These retail prices are totally bs. I've seen shops where they marked up the price 300% but sold it for much much less. Out of those 3 skis you chose i would recommend the dumonts. But be warned that i find after a lot of usage on Salomon skis the flex and pop tends to change because, these older models are filled with foam and has no wood core. The new line of Salomon skis now have wood cores but you'll be paying a lot more in price since its this years models. Some skis i would recommend you are Line Chronics or Volkl Walls.Super impressed of what they can do in the park and around the mountain.

Answer 4

You actually forgot to ask a question in your excitement.

But, I can share this with you: nobody can help you select YOUR skis. My suggestion is that you demo all three models before buying. This way you will know which ski is right for you.

I'm not kidding you. One ski may be perfect for me, but not you. For the record, I bought a pair of Salomon twins after demoing them. They are awesome.
