alright, just found out iv got a hook up through my cousin and can get some skis from salomon or fischer.  i will live in breckenridge by mid december so will be skiing summit county almost everyday this season.  im 6' 3'' 195 lbs.  im going to pick up a fun ski (thinkin along the lines of the watch life or invader/anthem) and will need a fat pow ski.  between salomon and fischer what do you think is the best big mountain ski?  i was thinking either the salomon xw lab or the rocker.  whats your guys input?
 
X-Wing Labs are a hell of a lot of ski. Douglas and Abma don't even ski them, I heard.
 
here's how i see it for a salomon/fischer 2 ski quiver: (2 different ratio scenarios)...

Do you: [1]- anticipate skiing mostly park/groomed, with a bit of pow/big mtn here and there,

or..... [2]- are you mostly about big mtn, with a bit of park here and there?

[1] more park: pure park ski + all mtn/pow ski...

Fischer Addict Pro(181) + Fischer Misfit 186

Salomon Dumont (181) + Salomon Gun 188

[2] more big mtn: all mtn twin + big mtn ski...

Salomon Foil (182) + Fischer Watea 101 (192)

Fischer Misfit (186) + Salomon XW Lab(198)

these are in progressive park -> big mtn bias. i wouldn't bother with the fischer 207: i doubt its on sale much, and i also doubt breck has the terrain/snow to justify such a monster. same can be said of the rocker, i just think that in a 2 ski quiver, both would be unnecessary.

figure out what you want out of your quiver and fire away...
 
well i want to get a solid all mountain ski that will do well in some powder too.  will the xw lab just be too huge??  maybe go with the gun then??  i guess i can also get blizzard skis too.   my cousin said he is better friends with the salomon rep so i might habe a better chance of getting two two skis if i went through salomon.  what about

1.xl lab + dumont

2.gun + dumont

3.gun + spk

i need to make up my mind by today though...
 
what if i went with the guns and the xl labs and then got some invaders or watch life's for park. i dont even know if i can get two pair yet, i just know he has hooked lots of out family with really nice stuff before. if i can only get one i think i might go with the guns.
