Twin Tip advice needed.

Hey, I'm heading up to Michigan Tech in the fall and I'm looking to upgrade my whole setup. I've never skiied up north before, but from what I've heard I'm thinking the Line Prophet 80 or the Salomon 1080 Gun would be best. Any suggestions?

lines suck.

I demo'ed lines and i thought they felt alright. What was your problem?

CmeRipTahoe · 02-25-2006, 07:50 PM

wen i tried em they were overly flexy. too much for jumps. ok for rails i guess. but ur screwed if u wanna do any real skiing. 3 of my friends had em and they all fell apart in half a season and these people dont beat skis. he needs to tell us wat kinda skiing is gonna be doin...

mainly backcountry stuff...www.mtbohemia.com. Idealy I want a ski that will do it all, but I don't spend a ton of time in the park, so if I had to choose I'd preffer more of a freeride ski.

volkl mantras are really good for everything

that seems like a really cool place. IN MICHIGAN!!! I wish they had more expert only type ski/board areas in the east.

if you are looking to backcountry I love my Mad'en AK's they have such a beautiful float and do well busting the crud as well. If you are looking for something a little thinner look at the 1080's and the K2 seth's.

Head mojo 80

heads are a good bet. but volkl karmas are sweet. for bc the mantras are sweet and so are the made en's and seths by k2.
