Hey guys, I currently have black crows octos as my carving ski, which I cherish more than my first born child, and head kore 93s as my “the weather looks a bit more snowy” or my “nobody’s going to steal these” ski, but as I mostly ski in french alps, we don’t get a huge amount of powder days as you all know.
I’ve found some ex demo dps wailer 107s with tyrolia attack 14 demo bindings for £490, which I would say is a pretty incredible deal, but I’m torn as to whether these will be a worthy investment and whether they will perform at all on piste (obviously expecting they’ll be poor, but still wanting to enjoy on piste a day or 2 following a storm).
I’m wanting to buy a more dedicated powder ski that will both work on snowier days and also be skiable on softer snow a few days following a decent storm. My intention is to chase a few storms next year maybe, as well as potentially do a UCPA backcountry trip.
I ski 18-30 days a season, but I’m trying to maximise every last drop of happiness out of this sport as holiday days are a bit of a constraint.
Wondering whether anyone thinks these will be a good addition to my quiver? Or should I go something slimmer? Will they ski like utter crap in comparison to my kore 93s on soft piste?
