Hello, I'm looking for a good BC/FS powder ski, something with a beasty amount of rocker in both the tip and tails, centered mounting, reverse camber, (possibly) reverse sidecut, medium flex - buttery but able to go more than 12 mph... Does anyone have any experience on any/all of these skis? I'm 6' and would either get the 190 gypsy, 186 Ghost Chant or 185 ARG. Thanks!
 
reverse sidecut is hard to beat in the bottomless. Though not the best on the traverses back to the lift due to its small contact point. But hey, its a pow ski.
 
Im 5'7 and ride the 170 gypsys. They are by far the best ski i ever had. They rip though pow and ride switch just as good as they do front. And they are FAST! They carve surprisingly well on groomers and have a lot of edge contact due to the rocker/sidecut profile. I would highly recomend these skis.
 
Cant speak towards the Ghost Chants, but I would highly recommend the Gypsys. If you want a smearier ski though, the Armada Bubba is just an updated ARG that isn't terrifying to ski on variable snow
 
idk, ive seen thise one dude at my resort riding the ghost chants in then park lol. theyre pretty buttery and have massive amounts of rocker. he did a sick nose butter 7 off like a 4 inch jump lol. so theyre pretty buttery, maybe even too soft idk
 
I have 186 Ghost Chants. Gypsy's were on my list and I really wanted them but couldn't find a pair within my budget at the time.

The Ghost Chants have a ridiculous amount of rocker, but there is no actual tip or tail. If you like to tranny find or nollie alot, you may catch your tips. I have experience. They are super fun and quite nimble in the trees. They do carve on groomers, but they flop around quite a bit going fast, feels like having shakeweights on your feet. They are on the softer side but far from being noodles.

I hope to get on a pair of Gypsy's but I have no input on them. As far as ARG, I don't like Armada so I never really looked into them.
 
don't bother with the gypsys, just another dead, 2X4 feeling, damp, old man icelantic ski.
