are the s7 pro's behind you a good all mountain twin tip?

@sammynick04 You may also want to look at the newer S3. Its a bit wider with rocker tip and tail. I would recommend the 168 because it skis a bit shorter. If you look around online you may be able to find last years 168 for about $50 more than this season S7 Pro. If you are looking for an all mountain rockered ski this would be a great choice or the Kung Fujas from K2.

Hope this helps,

@sammynick04 Yeah! Nice work. You will like those a lot. Good for everything a modestly wide waist at 90 will make take you everywhere from pow to cruising groomers to laps in the park.

@videosbyevo i went with the s7 pro's. i got a great, $550 for ski's bindings and poles. couldn't pass on that deal. thanks for the help, i appreciate it

@videosbyevo thanks for the insight, i really appreciate it. i had been skiing on the atomic izor's for a couple of years now and they have gotten a little small at 150cm. i went with the s7 pro's and got a great deal at my local ski shop. $550 for ski's, bindings and poles and i went with the 160 as you recommended

@sammynick04 The skis behind Ben in the video are the standard S7. The S7Pro might be a good ski for you but I imagine that you will probably fill out a bit of the next year or so and may want a ski that you can grow with. What have you been skiing on? The S7 Pro junior ski is the same as the original S3 before they added rocker and changed the shape last year. Based on your weight i would recommend the 160cm size for you.

@videosbyevo im looking for a ski that is mid to fat about 90mm waist. i was looking at the rossi s7 super's "little brother" the s7 pro's. i want a ski thats good on every type of trial and that can hold up in the park as well. im about 5' 10" 135 lbs.

thanks,

sam

@sammynick04 Referring to the 195s right? What exactly are you looking for? It won't ski switch as well as some skis. It has a pretty one directional shape but if you are a bigger guy looking for a stout ski that's 110-120 in the waist a S7 Pro is hard to beat. The only other skis similar that i can think of are a 193 Bent Chetler & a 189 Obsethed. Out of the 3 it's the only one w/ metal in it so it will hold up to bigger dudes.

Let us know what you are looking for. We want to help,

@AmaziinqVids the Blizzard One is gonna be in the next narrower category of all mountian twin tips. It's slimmed down in the waist making it something that can handle moguls to park to crud. It lacks the same flotation but makes up for it in versitility. Other skis that may be similar to One may be the Coax from Atomic, the TST from Armada, the S3 from Rossi or Kung Fujas from K2. All are geared towards skiing everywhere on the hill with a bit of freestyle thrown in. Does that help?
