What's up NS

I'm in the market for some nice fat skis. I've lived in the midwest my whole life so I own park skis(Line Chronics) but I recently moved to Colorado and I'm looking for some fat pow skis. I'm 5'11" 150 lbs and I ski pretty aggressively, like I said I ski park, but now that I'm skiing real mountains I'm trying to ski more big mountain. I'm looking for something maybe 100-110mm underfoot and not super stiff because I want to be able to ski moguls. Basically I want a ski that is slightly wider than average, can carve really well, and is a good every day quiver killer

Let me know what you guys think

Thanks NS

This, I'm still on my 12-13 Shreditor 112's that I was going to retire because I painted them, but I just can't put them away, love that ski too much, use it for just about everything. ON3P Jeffery or line Mordecai could be a good choice for you too though.

Just throwing it out there, 100-110 are NOT in any way pow skis. Yes, they can be floaty and be good for pow/big mountain skiing but are not designated fat pow boards. That being said, take a look into the Line SFB or Mordecais for what you are looking for. Both preform similar, its just that the Mordecai is wider at a 114 waist and will be better for pow than that of the SFB at a 108 waist. Also the Kartel 106s are a good choice for an all mtn/big mtn ski that can bust through anything and the Shredator 112s are a soft, buttery ski made for the big mountain background. Its really personal preference but 100-110 are not pow skis, they're the all mountain skis of the west. If you are looking for pow skis, my personal recommendation would be Icelantic Gypsys. I have ridden quite a few pow skis and these are by far my favorite. They preform like an all mtn ski because of their mid flex (its probably like a 6 or 7) and can crush out groomers. But with a 125 waist they can float on the pow pow giving you some of the best deep turns of your life.
