Pow/Touring Ski Advice

[snophie]

Hi all!

I am looking for a light pow ski I can use for pow days that i'd mount with touring bindings for when i'm feeling adventurous!

SPECS:

107-112 underfoot

168-178cm length

Preferably light

For an advanced skier - I don't mind if it's a mens ski (no preference though)

I like shorter turns but as it's for pow i don't mind

Any suggestions would be super appreciated! (I don't mind if it's an older model!)

No mention of budget. If funds are unlimited then the best touring ski is something carbon, since it will be strong but super lightweight. Personally my dream touring ski would be the v-werks Katana:http://blistergearreview.com/gear-reviews/2014-2015-volkl-v-werks-katana

Angel Collinson is skiing the Black Diamond Carbon Convert/Carbon Megawatt, so that has to be a pretty solid choice.

Line Sick Day 110. It's kick ass as a touring ski.

After much consideration i'm tossing up between these in this order:

- Atomic Century 109 (175cm)

- Moment The Bella 108 (172cm)

- K2 Remedy 112 (171cm)

- Line Supernatural 108 (179cm)

Can anyone vouch for the Atomics?

The atomic a are sooooo much fun. I demoed them from my work- I like the men's automatic more for big mountain, but I'd do the centuries for touring. Much lighter.

The the surenaturals are SO heavy. I wouldn't use hem as a pow or your ski, but that's my opinion.

Omg I have some Atomic Centuries brand new, unmounted. I was going to use them for touring but I can't afford a touring set up right now so would be happy to part with them.

I'll check the size and get back to you!

Hah yep i didn't look too far into those line's (hence 4th on the list). Glad to cross one option off though, leaves less deciding haha
