Park Skiers
Twin tip skis aimed at park skiers whose main focus is riding rails and the halfpipes in terrain parks. These skiers are hard on their skis and want something that will withstand abuse. The Line Chronic Cryptonite ($549) is one popular model. Others include the Rossignol SAS Twin S4 ($600) and Salomon Dumont ($600). For women, it's hard to beat the Salomon Mai Tai ($500). Other good women's models include the k2 MissDemeanor ($575) and Roxy Broom Stix ($598).
All-Mountain
All-mountain twin tips are for the skier who wants to do a little of everything, from charging down bump runs to knocking off steep chutes to doing aerials in the park. The Moment Tahoe ($600) is a good choice for all-mountain. The Line Prophet 100 ($650) is another popular choice. Others include the Volkl Bridge ($629) and Movement Source ($800). Popular women's models include the Line Celebrity ($549) and the Roxy Hocus Pocus ($469).
Powder/Backcountry
Skiers looking for deep powder in backcountry prefer a softer-flexing ski that won't dive too deeply into the snow. Several popular twin tip models are made for backcountry use, including the Volkl Chopstick ($749) and the Line Sir Francis Bacon ($649). Women's models include the Movement Black Rose ($649) and the Dynastar She's Trouble ($500).
