I have park skis, need all mountain/Pow.

Thinking:- Seths, Scratch BC, Big Trouble, Bacons or summat.

Whos had good experiences with any of these.

I'm 182cm 182lbs, around a 190 possibly.
 
If you're only getting 1 pair, I'd say between 95-105 mm at the waist, twin tipped, and medium flex. BUT: 105 might be a bit much to handle on shitty days or in the park, though some would beg to differ with me on park skiing on 105mm+ waisted skis.

Ideally, I'd say 2 pairs: One at around 85mm (think AR6), one at 105mm-ish. Obviously full twin on the narrower ski, with your powder skiing preferences (big lines vs booters vs all over the place, etc etc etc) determining the tail on your wider skis.

Some people love softer skis at Whistler, some people love really stiff ones. Personally, I like a little softer, nothing too stiff. But, if you're charging hard in a coastal snowpack, stiffer is sometimes nicer, so ya....

There's a lot of variables when it comes to picking skis. In the end, you're the one riding them, and no matter what a bunch of idiots tell you on the internet, if you don't feel good about what you're riding, you won't ride well. So go with your gut on this one.
 
I have scratches already that ill take(84mm) so non pow days are sorted.

Am I being thick? What the hell are BROs?
 
Ah, I see! They look pretty good with good write up but not very available, especially outside the US. I think it may come down to price in the end but thanks for all your opinions!
 
Okay, realistically, barring custom shit, get Seths. It's a very happy medium.
 
Ants if you need a twintip. Legend Pros if you don't. Legend XXLs if you want to go big.
 
They're available in canada too. Just wait till july, and you'll be paying the same as you would with any of the other, while getting much more versatility and performance everywhere.

If you decide against BROs, then I'd go with the Vicious, or Gotamas.
 
dude, you're a pretty big guy, wouldn't you want something stiffer than a vicious? Look into Capitals, made in Pemberton or maybe the new Mojo 105 coming out thsi season
