Just Wondering what your favorite pow skis are, since skis these days have so much different technology in them? Mine Are probly the ep pros, havnt skied them but want to. I ski czars and they killed the pow.
 
Based on tech and rep they are my favorite wants, i guess. sorry. Czars are my favorites then cuz i ski them and they were great on a deep pow day
 
1-FatYpus A-Lotta 140mm center

2-Volkl Sumo 125mm at center

3-DB tabla Rasa 120mm middle of the skis

4-K2 Hellbent 122mm

5-Volkl Kanata 112mm

6-Lizzies 110mm

7-Rossignol Steeze 105mm

And the others in not specific orders: Explosiv, Volant FB Chubb .Salomon Pocket Rocket

 
for bottomless pow definitely hellbents, for chopped up pow or charging then jj's. bacons are up there
fwiw you might hate ep pros so they can't really be your favorite skis if you haven't skied them....
 
My favorite are Hellbents, but of course I haven't ever actually used them they just look SO SICK!!!
 
I know thats true about the ep pros thats why i made another comment saying by tech and rep, they are my number one ski i want to try, but for now its the czars!!!
 
my friend has JJs and absolutely loves them. I have demoed Chopsticks, and they fing charge. amazingly easy 2 stomp cliffs, they are just hard 2 spin on. lol, i tried a 3 the first run off a little jump and barely made it to 180. It landed super sweet though, due 2 the symetrical sidecut and center mounting. i also tried the czars, but they felt real small and flimsy. Hopefu
 
the jj's, hands down. just an all around good ski, groomers, deep pow, crud, anything. still haven't really hit park on them but im sure they dominate. one thing i dont like is the length when skiing trees but still an awesome ski
 
Whats the best powder ski you guys have found that kills it in the pow, but is super stable and easy to carve on groomers? My czars can carve but it takes alittle bit more effort than others skis because of the rocker. so is there any skis that kills it all over? even in the park maybe?
 
For strictly pow I'll say Donner Party's, there is just nothing that can compare with the reverse sidecut....besides ARG's which I'd love to try as well.

Bacons are a lot of fun too.
 
Bottomless pow day's I stick to my Pontoons, enjoyed using EP Pro's but didn't suit me quit like the toons. Anything in between the Sir Francis Bacon's definitely handle the task well.
 
"Mine Are probly the ep pros, havnt skied them but want to."

Reading that has made my day. Remember that line from Zoolander..? "Sting is another favorite artist of mine, I dont really listen to his music. But the fact that he's making it, I respect that."

Thank you.

ON3P is your answer by the way.
 
They look really sick so I guess they ski just as good as they look, I mean for pow they are the best option imo. They are rockered too and I've never skied a rocker only ski, but the rocker makes them even worse on hardpack and even better in pow...obviously.
 
The Jah loves are great in real deep pow but they can't really ski anything else. I would go with the Fatypus
