Best Pow Skis For Me?

[pduncan]

Im looking for some powder/ all mountain skis that will also be good for pow jumps. Im skiing at Big Sky this winter. Im 5' 9" 135lbs. I was looking into shreditor 112s. I don't want something crazy wide but wide enough. +k to any help.

Armada JJ's in 185 would be good depending how hard you ski, with your size that might be pushing it

^JJ's would be sick, but a 185 ski would be too big for you. I've got Pettitor (Shreditor) 120's and they slay. With your size the 112 would be great.

Kartel 116 or Jeffrey 114

This. Moment Bibby Pro could be good too. Im geussing you are looking for a more bi-directional ski?

Shreditor 112s are a sick do it all ski that handles pow well.

I have the 189 now, but also had the 179 last year as a rock ski. The 179 floated my 6'3" 200lb self suprisingly well for being too short (they measure 2cm long, the 179 is about 181cm, and 189 about 191cm)..

My pow skis last year were 191cm Billy Goats and if those were 10/10 for powder, than Id rate the 179 shreditor 112 8.5/10. AKA pretty darn good for being 6mm thinner, 10cm shorter, and a more all mountain orientated shape.

I don't think 185 with heavy rocker would be too big for him.

If you want a more directional ski for the terrain at Big Sky that is good for cliffs, pow and still can ski "all mountain" the Faction Eleven looks great for Big Sky. If you were looking more just to hit "pow jumps" the shreditor seems cool. I'm actually looking at the Shreditor 112s this year as a ski to cruise around on and spin.

Thanks for all the replies! Considering 112s, 120s, JJs, and Jeffreys still haha.Just waiting for a deal to come up.

Agreed. They're not a demanding ski and ski shorter anyway so I reckon the 185s would be about right, especially if you plan on growing upwards or sideways.

I'd recommend an ON3P for Big Sky. Lots of rocks that tear up lesser skis.
