(go if you want a damper yet heavier version of the helio)īD Helios 95. I'll give you some other options instead.īD Route 95. that's about all you'll ever really need in maritime snowpacks. Today I was out on a pair of Icelantic Vanguard 97's and it was awesome. I generally don't find myself ever touring on anything wider than about 103. what happens after a storm? the pow consolidates pretty densely. I'm just not sure if the Helios are too light and will feel like more of a traverse oriented ski rather than a fun riding ski. I can get a pretty good deal on the Helio 105s and the Backland FR 102s. Here are the skis I'm trying to decide between, in no particular order. I didn't start looking too much into bindings yet, but will probably be aiming for something like the Fritschi Tecton's because I'm overly paranoid about a pre-release while charging. Since I'm on the lighter side, I probably want to stay on the lighter side of skis, but want to make sure I don't go so light that the ski isn't fun. Probably will be touring more in softer snow and after fresh dumps as opposed to wind blown and cruddy.
I don't really see myself using this ski at the resort since I have my 7's for that. Looking for a BC ski under the $1k price range that will handle some charging. Obviously they aren't great in hard pack or crud, but I still have fun on them. I can glide on powder days but also catch air and rip a line of bumps. The things I like about the 2016 Soul 7's with my Pivot bindings is the fact that they're light and maneuverable. Profile is a lighter aggressive skier at 5'9" and about 135lbs, currently ride 180 Soul 7s in the resort (Sierra mountains), spending almost all of my time on the blacks/double blacks. I'm trying to build my first touring setup and have bunch of skis I'm trying to decide between. I've read a bunch of posts on this forum already, but figured I would post something more specific to me.
