Alright, need some new sticks for the deep stuff this year and I just want to see if anyone here can suggest something I may have overlooked. What I am looking for:190-195cm

120ish underfoot

I would prefer a longer, lower rocker profile as it seems to be more stable and bomb through shit better.

I am open to some reverse sidecut in the tips although I'm not a huge fan of a lot as I find it tends to deflect through crud as opposed slice through it.

Decently stiff as I'm a big boy, 6'2, 215lbs and prefer going fast.

NS, lets see what ya got.
 
First off, I completely understand how frustrating it can be to find skis for guys like us (especially early rise or rockered ones). I weigh 5 lbs less than you, and I am currently on a 205cm Folsom Custom Gambit. It rides extremely short and it is a very similar profile to the JJs. At our weight, a 195cm rockered/early rise ski is simply not enough.

Here is a link to their site. And my skis below.

Oh by the way, +K for thread title

i was sure this thread was going to be a troll thread haha
 
if you are going to even consider a custom brand, go with igneous, folsom can't even compare to the sheer beauty and craftsmanship that goes into a pair
 
Ive been hearing nothing but good things about the new Blizzard Bodacious. 196, two layers of metal, 118 underfoot, mellow rocker.

 
No idea it would say that........ Just put down what came (hahaha) into my head.

But seriously, look at how many responses there were in that amount of time, obviously it worked.
 
How are the Atomic Atlases when it comes to stiffness?

Everytime I see those skis, I just want to steal them, and go to AK
 
Thirteen's were already high on my list. I worked at a faction dealer in the past and had a chance to demo them and loved em. Just wanted to see if there was anything out there that I hadn't thought of.
 
Not at all what I was expecting to see in this thread.....skiing?....wait what's newschoolers?....what the?

Lmao. Seriously dude check out the on3ps.
 
those look a lot like these....

Exactly!! I have always thought that the original SFB is the sickest ski graphic ever. So I simply redrew it (for copyright purposes) and changed a few things to my liking.
