    Helldorado vs Influence 115

    Both black, both have metal, both have rocker.

    Which is stiffer ? Which has more rocker ? They seem very similar on paper.

    Me: old, fat, lazy. (55, 6'2, 240 lbs, ex-linebacker turned sofa king)

    Looking for a daily driver in Big Sky/Moonlight Basin.

    I don't know about the influence, but the Helldorado tips and tails are really soft in flex. Might be good if you're lazy? Might not be, as I'm not sure what happens if you get bounced into the back seat.
    No longer stuck.

    Both good skis. The Helldorado is softer but neither are total planks (despite having metal). I'm a bigger fan of the Influence but the Helldorado may have been a hair easier to get side to side. YMMV.

    at your size you will find the influence quite nimble and quite a bit stable, but not even close to say moment governor for instance! I like the rocker profile on the influence better than the heldorado!

    I'd go influence @19x whatever is the longest one!

    I know of a pair of 115's in the wrapper for 289 shipped. Helldo's will run you 389. For a daily driver, I would say the 115's, I would say if you wanted the Helldo,s the 193 would be the size.
