Tons O Fun

By Cascade Concrete Ranked #79 - Alpine Park and Pipe Skis December 25, 2009

After adding the S7 to my quiver last year and being blown away by how amazing it was in the powder I decided to give the S3s a shot this season. I know many would ask, "why it is very much the same ski just smaller?" Both share a good deal in common but the S3 is a much more playful ski outside of the deep stuff, while the S7 OWNS it!

Though the S3 handles great in the pow, crud, and concrete we get here in the NW it also holds well on nasty icy nights, is a lot of fun in the park (it is a true twin tip unlike the S7), and very solid as an all around ski. I did go extra long with the 186cm while my S7s are 176cm (I am 5'6 160lb), but if you look at the true contact surface the S3 is a good 10-15cm less in running length. The ski also is pretty light and I have not had much issue with the swing weight (despite its length) when riding the park.

If you are looking for an all around ski that you can truly jib and freeride the S3 is a great option.
