Aight so I am in need of another pair of skis, and thought I would get the jury's opinion.
I am: 5'11", 140-145lbs. The ski I am looking for is somewhat of a "one ski quiver" to an extent. Here is what my exact thought was for it:
I will be skiing Brighton in Utah quite a bit this year and want a "Brighton" ski. This means the following:
1. Needs to be able to handle the pow. This would be my only pow ski, aka I'm not buying JJs as well, so it has to perform well in the deep stuff that we can get in Utah.
2. While performing well in deep pow, I want to be able to take it all over the mountain, on any kind of day. This means in the trees, through the 4 day old crud and chopped up pow and all over. Groomers are not that important to me, but obviously need some performance.
3. I'd like to be able to goof around on it in the park. This is brighton here, so no big booters, but lots of rails and little jibs. I want this ski to be able to have some fun in the park when I go up there and there is no new snow/shitty off piste conditions.
4. Basically I want it to be fun, buttery, awesome ski to play around on everyday. I could take it to some rails one day and ski 3' of fresh the next. Obviously I have to compromise somewhere but that is the ideal.
Here's what I've looked at and like so far. Sir francis bacon-looks good, but could they handle the big pow dumps? Kung Fujas-look awesome for everything, especially rails, but also could they handle deep pow on the days we get it? Rossi S6 (sickle)-also look sick for everything, park performance thought? I know someone will say ON3P Jeronimo's- don't know too much about it, how are they in park? Deep pow?
/long thread. Any help would be appreciated, I realize I have to give up somethings to gain others, but I'm looking for the whole package. Thanks all!
