For two days I was on my Head Monsters (171) skiing wind-blown packed powder at Mammoth. By the third day it was getting a little scraped so I changed over to my TT80's (170).
What a surprise. When I lock-carved the TT80's it felt like they just wanted to hold on to the turn. I really had to think and almost aggressively release the ski by pulling my stance leg up.
Is this due to the difference in the shape of the tails? Do you guys who ski this combo notice this difference?
To me... very different skis. Even though I've had both pair for a couple of years, I'd never A/B 'd them back to back like this. My take-away is that the TT80's require more precision and attention. And, lifting a hip to create more angle is like throwing on the "after-burners!" Got thrown in the back seat more than once.
I'd be interested to hear impressions from anyone who skis this similar combo...
