As the title says.

Im on the lookout for a powder/late season slush ski.

Been thinking about getting a pair for a few seasons now and it seems like im bout to go in.

Riding a pair of Liberty Antigen as my main ski, 115 in nose and tail and 89 under foot.

So im on the lookout for something abit wider. In the 97+ under foot and ~130 tip/tail. Hopefully something with a bit of rocker.

Will mainly play around in the park with these skis, so would be a plus if the flex wasn't too hard (~7+).

Been looking around for a while but cant decide on what to get.

Anyone of you guys got anything to recommend for my purpose?

Thanks!

The Armada Al Dente or Halo 2 fit the dimensions you want, but they may be a little soft if you want a good performing slush and powder skis. I would suggest the Blizzard Bonafide if you want a great slush ski, and the Cochise or Bodacious if you will be wanting it more for powder and less for slush. However the Blizzard skis won't be doing anything in the park.

Also check out the Blizzard Peacemaker. It may not be great for jibbing but itll be fine for any jumps.

Bought the bridge last year and I love them. Watch out though, the full rocker might me trouble on slush and hard pack. You have to pay more attention to holding edge when you are still used to a ski with camber in them. The bridges work especially well when there is a nice fresh couple of inches on the ground.
 
The blend is a good all around park ski that is like 100mm under foot. I her that thing works wonders in the slush as well as some light pow, but is still versatile enough for the park.
 
Since you've already got a fairly narrow park ski with some camber, why not go for something wider (110+)? You'd have less quiver overlap and would have far more fun in deeper snow.

I'm taking a guess here, but since you're looking for a slush/pow ski I'd wager that you're looking for something surfy?

Try something that's either full reverse camber, or rockered with zero camber underfoot. Someone already mentioned the Faction CT 3.0 which would be my pick. Other options to look at would be the Volkl One (wider) or bridge (narrower). Could also check out the 4frnt devastator if you don't want to go super wide.

I'm just saying don't be afraid to get something bigger and more rockered than you're used to since you already have a park specific ski that works great on hard snow.
 
thanks allot for all the advice everyone.

Took all of the tips in consideration.

was at the store today to get a feel for the flex patterns.

The pb/j had a very similar flexpattern to the CT 3.0 and the Soul Riders. the blend's was a bit to soft since i like to go charge and land deep.

I just ordered the pb/j because of the rocker which has a little more rocker than my main ski.

Would go for a wider ski, but im sorry to say that the pow we have here rarely gets deep enough to fully enjoy a 110mm+ waist ski.

I think the pb/j will be perfect for when the deep/wet snow comes around.

Hopefully im right, buying skis is like playing rock paper scissors. 50/50 chance to get it right.

Hard to get it right since every skier got different technique and style. From what i've read and seen it seems like it going to fit my needs nicely.

Thanks all!
