Last march I went to utah to look at college, but I thought Id get a day of skiing in too. Since it was march I went ahead and took my PE's only to show up with 15 inches of freshies. The PE's skied like champs and I was almost happy I had skinny skies, cause it made everything feel really deep. So to answer your question...yes they ski great in pow. I have mine mounted forward too.

 
PEs are awesome in pow, i was in colorado last year and there was like 2 feet of snow...and they did great in em

yeah I skied mainly on the PEs this last year and they do great in the pow but i mean they are no fat powder ski but they will get you where you need to go and you'll have a blast while you do it with them

Yep yep they're great in powder. Like somebody else said, the tips are reallly fat so it helps the flotation factor by a power of 9 MHz/sec. I skied them at Alta last Christmas when it snowed 7 feet in 5 days and I couldn't have been happier with them.

depends on the size...if you have 169's +5 is good, if you have 179 mount more like +7. thats ski is awesome in powder no worries.

I think +7.5 is center, so 7 is just about center. Not sure if its exact core center, but thats relatively close. I remember someone saying exact center is +12.5, not sure though.

+7 is centre for most skis, for the pe + 7 is the balance point but not the exact centre and no i wasnt joking

+2 or 3 is just about perfect for all skiing genres
