ObSethed and Marker Duke - A wicked Combo

By Ranked #1926 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis January 2, 2009

I've just completed my full upgrade and gone out for my first week and it is awesome. The burly, beefy Dukes on the ObSethed made skiing easy and all smile enducing. The Ski feels like it rides shorter on the groomers. The rocker means you're actually riding on less ski at any time and was able to throw down soem nice big carving lines on groomers, but also make quick turns on some skiied out steep Double Black bumps. In the powder it is great. I'm on the 179, 6'1", 185lbs, and maybe I should have gone to the 189's, but they are a load of fun at this length. My old skiis are the B2's which I thought about keeping around for those spring days where there's no pow, but these far out perform those, even on the pack, so who wants to buy a pair of used B2's? Great ski. Will do it all, just need a bit more snow here in BC for the back country and will really know.
