Glenn...if you're talking about the super fats with twin tips, I believe they are great for the purpose for which they were designed, big snow. The twin tips allow for easier maneuverability in deep snow. Less resistance in brush turns or swiveling the tails.

Other twin tips designed for terrain park use have constrution (flex patterns) more suitable for tricks, air time...fun park stuff. These skis also ski shorter because of their turned up tails.

I believe you should stick with a non- twin tip mid fat or fat ski that has the design features and construction that can handle firm or hard snow and powder. Something stable at speed and big turns as well as light enough and solid on edge enough for quick along the? edge turns.

Well...unless you're planning to work on your toe grabs, 360's, and big air moves.

Best,
Gary
