Anyone with experience with both care to comment on the differences?
I've read the WBs are not simply a wider version of the X9s and are quite a different ski despite being in the X9 line.
If so, how are they different in the way they ski?
I demoed the X9 WB version this past season and it blew me away. What a ski!
The hold and stability are both out of this world. I even skied it in a length I'm usually not fully comfortable with,
and I still had a blast. Unfortunately, I couldn't source an X9s to try it out.
So... I've decided to get a pair for next season. But now I'm wondering if the X9s is an even better version of the WB,
with all the same traits and level of fun I loved about the X9 WB.
For reference, I ski groomers like... 100% of the time... so the extra versatility of the WB is not really a major factor for me.
