Surface Watch Life Ski - 2008

The Salt Lake City shredders at Surface designed the Watch Life Ski to excel at jibbing, pow ripping, and everything in between. This ski’s tip to tail wood core gives it enough stability to stomp big airs and carry turbo-nuclear speed into the Wasatch’s biggest gap jumps, while the ABS sidewall keeps the weight down for easier inverts and spins. The full wrap edge protection not only stands up to handrail and log jibs, but also keeps this ski forgiving and cruisy for all mountain performance.

Bottom Line: A ski bred from the Greatest Snow on Earth.

Should i go 170 or 180? if im 5'10" 155lbs and i ski pretty aggresively and about 65% all mountain/pow and 35% park

I'm pretty sure you would be good with either ski, you can handle the 180, or you can rip on a little shorter ski. Up to you really, do you want long and super stable or shorter and more control.

I just bought a pair of watch life's and I was wondering how far back to mount these if I plan on doing 50/50 park all mountain skiing.

Check the recommended settings on the side of the ski, but I think +3 or 4 from traditional will be good.

I ski the east coast. How soft are these skis and how well do they handle on ice? I hear theyre great in the park but i want to know more about how they handle on groomers and ice. Could anyone name a ski with similar softness or ability on ice? thanks

Can I use an 80mm brake on these skis if I bend them a bit, or should I go with 100mm brake? I have the 07-08 model I believe. Thanks ballers.

It really wont take much of a bend at all. like.. 2mm on each side is nothing. Most shops could bend that without using a tool.

By: D. Joshua Christensen

Its going to take quite a bend to make them fit, but that's not to say its not do-able. I would go with the 100mm brake if its easy to get.

I really like the looks of this ski and the dimensions of the ski are exactly what I am looking for. The price isn't too bad either. How well would this ski work in the Northwest? Will it handle the crud as well as the pow?

Should handle the crud fairly well. You might experience some tip deflection at higher speeds.
