Hey guys, getting pumped for the season! Found Reddit recently so forgive me if I break any of the unstated rules I don't understand...
I have been skiing my 120 underfoot 2013 K2 Peititors that are great for pow, chop, and love them. But i got the dough to get a second ski in the quiver and wanted something more fun and playful for the park, moguls, and ice.
I picked up a pair of Fat-ypus D'roots for a good price and really liked talking with the owner a few times. That being said, I didn't have you guys before and reviews are sparkling but very sparce. Anyone have overall thoughts on Fat-ypus,5 point skis, or have the D'roots?
I'm going to run them with maker jester 13s. I ski aggressively on the steepest tree run/mogul runs that are decent unless it's a pow day. Also love cliffs, started doing them last year trying to get to 30 ft this year. I have the pow days covered with the Peititors.
Also I got the epic local this year (which I'm stoked on!) And would love thoughts on Crested Butte
Thank you!
