Fritschi Freeride

[SkiDog]

I ski mostly wood now. Volant Machete, Dynastar BIG, K2 Mod X.

the inspired big... what a ripper why buy another pair of skis for the freeride when you could use the big? i have that setup and it gives me gooes bumps just thinking about getting back on that rig this season.

i am also a HUGE fan of wood core skis. i snapped a foam core about five years ago... never again. i really appreciate the snap, feel, and power of a wood core. they feel more substantial and less likely to break. foam cores just seem like they are toys. i have tried a few different rossi's and salomons and just don't feel comfortable on them.

The BIGS are the older intuitiv's with the "swallow" type tail. I've thought of mounting the freerides there, but the are a heavy ski and only about 80 underfoot (though that is pretty sweet). Eh...i'm ALWAYS on the fence with this stuff. Maybe i'll just buy a pair of freerides and mounts them somewhere, and buy the GUNS with sallie binders....who knows...decisions, decisions.

oh word. if you liked the bigs, you could always pony up for last year's legend 8800. i knew a few places ditching last year's model pretty cheap if you were interested in looking into that. if you want to go lighter, that isn't the way but they are 89 underfoot, iirc.
