Ideas for skis?

[ben_southworth]

so im gettin new skis next year and i dont know what to get

at all

here's the deal:

I'm 6'0" about 160 pounds

Im lookin for a ski that shreds big mountain, and kills backcountry freestyle too

preferably rockered for switch in powder and switch landings

any suggestions on what skis to get? would be fantastic

thanks!

thats pretty much a perfect description of the armada JJ

 

[JBrown]

Icelantic Nomad 181

stiff and fat and light.

wait till September when they release the 09s in 181

 

[SK1ERDUDE]

Yeah that ski will be perfect

the JJ in the 185, the rockered makes it feel shorter but in the backcountry you will have that extra stability when skiing powder, great choice and really light!

 

[ben_southworth]

the JJs sounding perfect, ill check out the icelantics too though

I have riden the new pimps and thugs from atomic, both great, idk how fat you want to go. I rode the S7 and the Volkl Chopstick. The S7 was a little beefy for me, but I liked the chopstick a lot, tough decision as most everyone has a rockered ski that is fat now. I personally am going with the thug.

09 JJs sound just the tickest for ya. I think thugs would be the next best option.

buy either one of them and ull be happy

I'm surprised nobody has suggested the Bibby pro models, they sound like the perfect ski for you.

 

[ben_southworth]

i hadnt even check out the bibby pro models, those look way sick too

anyone rode any of these skis?

HELLBENTS FTW

 

[ben_southworth]

the hellbents look sick, but i dont think they're gonna shred big mountin especially in not powder conditions

i tend to think of that and the jj as the same ski, so when ones recommended, i just figure everyone knows enough to think of the other haha
