175. I found the tips deflected more than my Thugs (192s) did. That's all I know. If you want something smaller than 120 and less than 189, I'd change my list of skis to 185 JP vs Julien, 186 EHP, 188 S7, Praxis MTN Jib, Moment Ruby and the Moment Bibby Pro.

Yes I have ridden bents (albiet the 179 size) and I found that at higher speeds in the chopped up stuff the tips did flap and deflect cause they were so big. I'm not saying they are a bad ski, not at all, but I misunderstood what the original poster said. For the guy who is asking, next time...

Yeah but in the crud/chopped up stuff at speed, the soft rockered tips on the hellbents are going to flap and deflect like mad.

Agreed with the fact that sketchy shit + reverse sidecut = no go. Rockered stuff also isn't great there. You DO NOT want to tour on Hellbents or EP Pros because there is just too much rocker. For slackcountry and shorter tours you could definitely get away with the skis with minimal rocker. It's...

When you mention "dedicated powder tool" and "squaw" in the same sentence, The Praxis Pow immediately comes to mind. For someone like you I think that both the Hellbent and Sir Francis Bacon are poor choices. Both are soft, and the Bacon (as a 182) is too short for someone of your size and...

sorry, most of that shouldn't have been bold.

At 145 lbs the 179s will definitely float. More than that, I doubt you'll ever be able to bury the tips. I don't think I did the 2 days I tried them and I've got at least 30 lbs on you. Hellbent + obSethed + Dumont is a pretty sick quiver btw. You may find at whis you don't use those park skis...

In his defense most of them have been lousy/boring colours. No yellow, red, anti-freeze, nothing stretch, and definitely no T-hall.

you fucks in onterrible are under a dollar now! It's still over $1.20 on the west coast!

winner!

FUCK YEAH!!! Sox Win Sox Win! Bring it on Tampa!

86.5cm from the tail with a flat tape.

That was well done. It would definitely throw me for a loop, but I wouldn't think I had become invisible.

be prepared to spend something north of $10k

I've come back to prove a point. USE THE FUCKING SEARCHBAR Salomon STH 14/16 vs Marker Jester: https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/385498/ Jester or STH16 https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/383895/ STH16? Jesters...

Definite Karma boost. Wish I could crank it up to 11.

I think you're going to find bias no matter what. Best bet is take two opposite bias (leftish Globe and Mail and rightish National Post) and formulate your views somewhere in the middle. I would avoid the Star, it is far too left.
