I'm about 5'11, 160 pounds and I just moved to Utah from VT. I've got my park skis and now I need some pow skis.

I've skied last years Hellbents in deep pow and had a blast on them but I'm just weighing my options. I've kinda looked into ON3P Caylors, Line EP Pros, K2 Obsethed, and Surface New Lifes. Caylors sound like they're the most ideal but the price says otherwise.

I'm looking for a fun ski to mess around on natural features with but can still handle it's own if the terrain gets gnarly. Something that is on the flexible side and has plenty of rocker.

Also, I'd like to keep the price under 500 w/bindings and I don't have a problem buying used skis.

SO any other ski suggestions? And i've never skied the Caylors, EP Pros, Obsethed, and New Lifes, so feel free to weigh in on them.

look on evo at last years skis or something but finding bindings and skis for that cost will be rare.
 
Both the obsethed and the EP pros are soft and have a lot of rocker, but the obsethed is definitely more stable and handles better in crud and harder snow. Plus you can probably find a cheap pair of obsetheds, try geartrade.com. I haven't skied the other two.
 
i'd probably go for new lifes on a budget, they are more solid than hellbents and eps etc so a bit more versatile. You can currently get last year's new life for $360 on evo, you should be able to get bindings for $140 so you'll be under your 500 no problem.
