mountain boarding Question
Question by Joe M: Good All Mountain Twin Tip Ski? Hi, I'm looking for an all mountain twin tip skis. I am 73in and 160lbs. I ski the entire mountain from trees to groomers to park. I ski about 25 days a year in Vail and Beaver Creek CO, and a decent amount (almost every weekend) on a small resort in SD. (Terry Peak) I would rank myself as an advanced-expert skier as I regularly ski double blacks and extremes.
I'm looking for a new pair of skis this year and while I was originally going for Sir Francis Bacons 2011 with Baron Marker bindings, I'm having second thoughts. Someone told me skiing the Bacons on groomers and pretty much anything but powder is similar to "skiing on boards," because of the 115 waist and overall width. Because of that I thought maybe I should move to a narrower ski like the Armada AR7 or something with a 100mm ish waist. The low price tag on the AR7 kinda concerns me. (I don't want mediocre skis)
I originally had K2 Extremes and a pair of Salomon X-wings but I want to move to a one ski quiver and both pairs are pretty much shot. I am pretty hard on my skis and I want a top quality pair. What are some good option for me? Please only answer if you are an experienced skier. I will choose a best answer right away.

Answer by Jacob Smith I would recommend the Armada ARV's, I use them all the time on any terrain, they do take a bit more effort to swing around but the weight and flex gives you smoother turns
Answer by Jared i would suggest the Line Chronic Cryptonite. its a little bit on the stiff side but its an awesome all mountain ski. it has a 93 waist and like 120 tip with a 112 tail i think so its narrow enough to for quick edge to edge on groomers while its wide enough to still float on powder for when your in vail and BCC. also if im not mistaken the Bacons are rockered which isnt good for groomers and park. also if your going to be in the park the bacons are going to feel like extra baggage because of their width and wieght. so unless u already have a park ski i would suggest you get the chronic its a one ski quiver.

Ever wondered who rides rails on a pow day? These guys do! Mount Seymour hosted the Game of Snow on January 7, 2012. Like HORSE or SKATE, the idea is to land your best trick and watch to see who can follow suite. If you crash, you get a letter. You don't want letters. 180's, 270's, 360's, 50/50's, boardslides and [...]

Some video of the summit crew getting outside on the first nice day after two big storms that dumped a ton of snow on strong east winds. This filled in some unusual places on the mountain. The beginning of the video shows the Great Gulf Headwall, very nicely filled in from the storm. Unfortunately an elevated avalanche danger and lack [...]
