Hi I did a quick search and I've found a couple of threads similar to this but none with the range of skis I'm looking specifically.
So anyway, I'm looking for mogul skis but not MOGUL SKIS per se (ie idone, hart, etc) for next season. I'd like to do other stuff on them when I take them out for the day. So I'd like either skis with some groomer capability or non-mogul freestyle (ie park) capability. Also I'd like to not break the bank (kastles and dps's are less than ideal in this regard).
About me: 5'11 ~150 lbs. As far as overall skill level goes, according to epic/vail skier levels (1-9) I'm a level 7. I really want to learn to rip a zipper line like moseley (figuratively) hence this question.
At the moment I'm thinking of:
navigator 80
brahma ca
kanjo
qst 85
arv 86
candide 1.0
transfer 81
^ it's really just a random list of skinny-ish skis with supposedly soft flex and low swing weight, cuz I have no idea what I'm doing
My current quiver is: enforcer 100 177, iTitan 170, soul rider 87 177 (nearly center mounted tho if that matters). The enforcers and titans are too much for me at my skill level to ski a clean zipper line it seems. I fear they are in fact hampering me. I might just stick to using my soul riders as my mogul skis if yall think they are fine, though it seems that mogul skis are generally mounted further back from center and idk if the flex pattern is the best. Or maybe I should just plop down for some twisters or something?
Also idk how many of the listed skis are even demoable where I ski (Tahoe) on-mountain. The resort demo shops seem to only carry 90mm and fatter directional freeride skis.
