Best Backcountry Freeride skis?

[MADmidwest]

What are the best skis for deep powder, cliffs and backcountry kickers?

 

[Vicious]

Gotamas, Vicious, etc

 

[wrenegade]

Gotams, Vicious, JP vs. Julian, Made'ns, Elizabeths...there are lots to choose from.

prophets are freeride specific. 100's or 130's depending on snow depth, or just get 100's so you won't limit yourself to deep pow

jj's, if you're tall/good they will dominate for you. Picking a 'best ski' is so subjective but i'd say jj's are going to do everything you want.

 

[zepscratch]

the maidens look so sick, i would get them just for the graphics

 

[jfuller]

VCT's.

 

[RAGGAMUFFIN]

volkl gotamas are so fun to ski. Try them at all costs!

 

[iggyskier]

Gotama, Vicious, ANTs, JP, Capital, scratch BC, so on.

You question is pretty vague, though. Each ski is different depending on who is skiing it.....

depends on what you mean by backcounty. some kids at my school say they hit "huge BC kickers". dude, they boot pack out of the parking lot for like 10 minutes till they get tired and stop. and it also depends how strong you are. you can push a super-fat through the BC having a bitch of a time, but once you get to the top, your rewarded. now to me, i dont think its THAT rewarding. 130 is overkill to me. 110 is pushing it. 100 is pretty good. iv got seth pistols now and hopefully a pair of pollard pro's. so yea, depends on how long im skinning.

GUN LAB or VCT the only ways to go..

 

[Paul-o-Rama]

depends on what kind of backcountry riding you want to do
