Surface Double Time Skis 2011

I really like the Surface Double Time skis for all mountain carving. For a midfat ski they hold their edge really well on hardpack and are super stable with no chatter. They're a little too stiff for me and I prefer a ski with rocker but enjoy the Double Time for speedy groomer runs.

Sometimes think it is better to describe the skier and then you may get a better idea of the ski. I am a good but not great skier that gets up to the hill about 14/15 weekends a year, with the occasional back country trip if I am being led by the right guide. This is a great ski for a mid-level skier that has moments of great skiing. My favorite thing about these skis is that I trust them and know exactly how they will handle each position I am in. Style points as well, I get compliments all the time.

I just decided to switch from snowboarding to skiing this season. It was one of the better decisions I've ever made. These skis are great for hitting groomed runs early in the day and basically anything that's not too wet and lumpy. They're great in powder too, although here in New England I only got to use them once in fresh powder.
The one thing I didn't consider (since I'm new to skiing) is that they are too flexible for me, aka I should've gotten a stiffer ski to support my weight. Because of that I feel like they don't do well in the wet snow and when it gets lumpy in the afternoon.
I gave them a 4 mostly because of that, which is really my fault, not the skis.
They are also very easy to scratch, so be careful about crossing your tips.

I got these a few months ago, and I've gone skiing on the local hill and Steamboat Springs a dozen times or so. They are really nice and floaty in powder. I like doing moguls, and these are really good for that because they're easy to control. They're really stable in all conditions. Also, I've been in less than ideal conditions and I've run over a lot of bare rock, but they seem really scratch-resistant. They are especially hard to control on icy conditions, so I would not recommend them for that. But then again, I can't say any ski is good on ice.

I couldn't ask for anything better. These skis have it all. Great for powder and steep slopes as well as jumps and tricks. Their light weight makes them easy to handle and a dream to spin. Noticed a chip on mine and a few peeling areas from skis hitting, but nothing too bad. I can't wait to get out and use these again.

I'm very happy with the 2011 Surface Double Time Skis. This is my first pair of twin tip skis, and they've been great. The top edges are getting a little marked up after a half dozen times out, but I think thats pretty typical of any ski you are learing to ride switch, and through the park. I center mounted the bindings, and feel they're easy to ski on, very responsive, and forgiving.

I love these skis! They are skinny enought to carve good and work great in park, and wide enough to get some good floatation in the pow on my trips to the actual mountains unlike my ice hill here. They are nice and stiff so you can go super fast too. Also the look amazing! I've gotten several comments on how they look.

You get this ski out of the box and flex it and the first impression is underwhelming. Very stiff tip, and a pretty soft tail. Why do that? Well Surface nailed it. Soft tails make the ski super forgiving and poppy, while the stiff tips allow for some charging. Super playful, really light, really fun. Skis bumps and chowder real well, super stable on big landings. Hit a ton of rocks, held up like a champ. Me 20+ years skiing, 160lbs, 5'11" on the 180 cm mounted at 1.5cm back of true center. Love these skis.

Very fun skis. The 17m turn radius makes for some snappy, quick turns. They are also stiffer than you would think, so they really hold an edge. No speed limit for these.

The stiffness makes them pretty good for busting through crud and holding on hardpack, but not so great for untouched powder. Then again, if you are getting untouched snow for more than a couple hours at a time, you probably already have powder skis. Let's face it, the stuff gets tracked out pretty quick. At least here in CO at the front range resorts.

*I took one star off for the construction. After 3 days, the topsheets are starting to chip away a little at the tips. To me, that is no big deal. I mainly care about how they ride, and the edges and base are holding up just fine.

Great bang for the buck. Go for it!

First brand new twin tips I've gotten in years, and I love them. If your athletic and want skis you can really move around, then these will work great for you. They're so easy to maneuver, I've only used them twice and already feel perfectly comfortable with them. Great buy!
