Waterskier has a equip. Question (Carbon Fiber)

skibumdan · 03-01-10, 03:22 AM

I am a avid waterskier and a vacation only snow skier. I was wondering, why carbon fiber is not big in snow skis. In water skis it makes them lighter, faster, they don't twist and rebound from flex better. All the top end skis are carbon Fiber.
Are lighter skis not better in Snow skis? I noticed I only see Goode Ski poles, but not their carbon skis.
I'm 47 so i was thinking that light skis might help me to ski longer.
What are your thoughts?
