Could these suit an east coast skier? Or are they a little too wide in the waist?
I have and love those exact same skis. I hope they find a new home. I only use them offpiste, in the West Coast, and I find them amazing for that. But even here, they are only fun on a groomer if it is hero, chalky snow where you can get the edges to dig relatively deep. In firm conditions, on a groomer, I don't find them of much use other than going back to the lift
Of course I am a crappy skier. But when I demoed these side by side with the blizzard bonafide, also around 100mm underfoot, the Bones were more fun on groomers. They would simply want to carve and hold to a turn more than these. So, I don't think it's just the width but also the design.
My 2 cts, hope it helps. And again, I am also bumping this thread because this ski, in the previous design which is what
@musicmatters is selling, is a thing of beauty, for it's intended use.
