jordan Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Love em? hate em? Im looking to get some phat skis for powder, and i can get a good deal on some lightly used Rossi B4s, which are the same skis as the old B3's I have a pair of B2s now in case you were wondering Jordan Quote
snorovr Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Everything I've heard about the newer B4s is pretty positive. A few years back everyone was on the B2 as a "fat" ski, now a 78 waist is a slalom ski to some of us. Quote
Ski4Food Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 If you like the B2 then you'll like the B4. It's a good ski and perfect for Vail and Colorado. It floats well in powder, not the best but it'd make the top 15 in my powder ski choice. It also handles the front side pretty well, so you won't be struggling to get back to the lift. All in all good ski! Quote
jordan Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 anyone know anything about the BSquads? I can get a pair brand new through a proform for $506 (they retail for $959) Jordan Quote
snorovr Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 My buddy just got a pair for the season he is spending in J Hole this season. I've only heard good things about those for steep and deep, but have also read that they are a bit overkill if it isn't all steep and deep. You might have more fun in Colorado on something that isn't built for straightlining and mach 1 speeds in waist deep. Quote
Justo8484 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 if you have access to proform, check out the scratch bc. its wide, soft enough to be maneuverable in trees, but stiff enough in the tail for full speed bombing lines. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 if you have access to proform, check out the scratch bc. its wide, soft enough to be maneuverable in trees, but stiff enough in the tail for full speed bombing lines. I ski BC's everytime I ski Alta, and love them. Quote
jordan Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) if you have access to proform, check out the scratch bc. its wide, soft enough to be maneuverable in trees, but stiff enough in the tail for full speed bombing lines. I was just looking into the BS's they seem pretty practical for me, as i want powder skis, but I have always wanted a pair of twin tips for quite some time.. I can get the Scratch BC's for $380 ($729 retail) through the proform, plus $159 ($339 retail) for the scratch 140 wide break bindings (up to 14 din) or $108 ($259 retail) for the Scratch 120 Wide break bindings with up to 12 din... So that would run me around $500-$550 for the whole set up... not bad Jordan Edited November 9, 2006 by jordan Quote
