What Skis to buy, Top Fuel or Jet Fuel?
I’m looking for a new pair of skis, at first I considered a freeride ski, but then I thought about it and decided I want more of an all-mountain ski. I’ve decided on which one(s) but not on what size. I’m either going to get the Nordica Hot Rod Top Fuel XBS (2008) or the Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel (2009). So my question is, what size should I buy them? I’m an expert/aggressive skier, I weigh 180 lbs (give or take 2) and am 5’9″ tall. But I don’t know if I should get them in 170cm and take a shorter turn radius for good maneuverability in trees, or a larger 178cm ski?
Also if anyone out there has these skis, any comments? How well do they float on pow?(I ski in CO). And how well do these work out in bumps? (which one is better for bumps?)
Thanks!
I have the TOP-FUELS and love them. I am 6′ 245lbs, expert skier. I am on 178′s. Go with the 170′s. These skis will turn themselves. Good for short radius and big, cruising turns.
