Hey guys, I'm looking for a pretty fat ski that has a decent amount of rocker AMD is pretty flexible. I will be skiing 70% powder and off piste jibbing and 30% charging around and doing boosters. I'm just under 5'11 and I have no idea how much I weigh. I am an experienced skiier and want a soft wide ski to butter a lot, mess around in low and do some trees with.

The ideal thickness would be around 110 probably, as too thick and they get hard to maneuver in less snow.

Sorry for any typos I'm on mobile.

You just described the K2 Shredditor 112.

Sounded like a K2 ad if I might add.
 
The Candide 3.0's sound like the ski you need. Here's a link

How do you not even have an estimate on how much you weigh?

But the atomic Blog, line sfb, line opus, k2 shreditor 112 are all worth looking at.
 
Alright, thanks a lot for the suggestions I'll take a look at all the previously mentioned skis.
 
By the title I thought you were going to be talking Powabungas/Hell Bents or something like that haha. I'll be straight with you, if you want a powder ski I'd look fatter than 110. I think you would be pleasantly surprised by some Bent Chetlers or senor Pollard's Opus. Personally I would rather have a ski that is awesome 70% of the time and slightly sub par 30% instead of a ski that is decent 100% of the time. And it's not like the suck on hard pack by any means. I guess my point is if you are looking for a pow ski don't compromise because on a pow day you will really wish you didn't.
 
I would heavily recommend the Line Sir Francis Bacon. They're a super good middle ground ski between pow and all mountain jib, with a waist just narrow enough to keep them quick, but never leave you wanting more. They've been toted as one of the best skis in that category for years now as they continue to evolve. (And I agree.)

Hear nothing but amazing things about the OPUS...forgetting about their size. I would pick them up in a heartbeat if I wasn't a primarily EC skier. Gunna try to demo a pair out west this year
 
Just grabbed some shreditor 112s off backountry for cheap, stoked to try them out. My skiing sounds pretty similar to yours and I loved my atomic blogs and am hoping the shreditors of similar, maybe just a little stiffer and longer.
