I'm looking to upgrade my tele setup, and would be interested in folks' opinion on the TM22 vs. TMX. Details:

I'm on the East Coast, spend most of my time resort-bound in VT - Stowe, MRG, Sugarbush.

I'm 5'9", about 165, and a strong skier. Been on tele's for about 10 years now, love bumps, trees, pow (when I can find it).

I've seen solid reviews of both skis, was just wondering if the skis were to go head-to-head, which way would people go?

thanks,
E

If you like bumps and trees, go with the TM 22's. They're a quicker-turning ski underfoot, longitudinally a bit softer, and float decently in powder. The TM:X's are a bit stiffer, hold an amazing edge on ice, but demand that you stay centered; maybe not quite as forgiving as the 22's, but fun in powder.

Both skis will do well on hardpack/ice, but the TM:X goes faster better.

Hope that kinda helps. (I have the predecessor to the TM:X, the TM:EX, and love them. The TM 22's always felt a little "twitchy" whenever I tried them, but that could be my style. Didn't like them.)
