Pow ski??

[gnar101]

I'm 6'3" and 195 pounds and want a powder ski that I will mainly ride in pow but can take it into some variable conditions. Any suggestions?

 

[TheWakes.]

guy your size would like 191 on3p caylors.

maybe a 193 volkl schiro if you want full rocker and a more grounded feel (dont know if you have brand preference)

195 armada ak jj would be another solid choice.

196 4frnt Renegade

are you looking to be charging down lines or jibbing around in the trees, landing switch etc?

 

[gnar101]

I'm looking to charge big lines and drop cliffs

 

[MothaHucker]

rad. some good skis to look into would be 4frnt renegade (as mentioned above), rossignol squad 7's (these are coming out next year.), Icelantic keeper, or armada ak jj.

do your self a favour, get a flat tailed stiff ski, you will jizz you pants if u intend to charge/drop cliffs

 

[snakerton]

does a stiff tail help that much?

 

[50Kal]

A stiff tail gives you more stability in speed and hitting the ground. If you had soft tail you would back seat land alot more on firmer/leftover snow.

I ski at Alpine Meadows in Tahoe and I am a weekend warrior. The cliffs size I usually hit is 30 feet and I am trying to get better at ripping through crud and a little bit of moggles because when there isn't much snow, that is what I have to deal with. I can ski anywhere on the mountain and I am trying to buy a second pair of skiers for mainly powder riding.
