what are the stiffest and most powerful powder skis on the market right now, or released in the past 2 years or so? I am looking for 195-205cm for charging as fast as possible. I saw the el dictator a few years ago and wish i pulled the trigger. anything like that exist anymore?
 
how wide are you looking. If your in the 110-110 range quite a few of the more tradionaly brands hav some stiffer options. Kastle for example would be worth a look a would possible the salomon q lab. Try to look for brands with a good race program.

When I read the OP's post I instantly thought Kastle
 
Could always custom order a stiff praxis protest 196cm. Or extra stiff, I'm sure Keith would do that for ya. Order this week and you get some free powderboards with your order too, pretty sweet deal. I can give ya a 15% off code, pm me if you want one
 
Check out 196 4frnt Renegade. Stiff with a big 35m radius for going fast and straight when put on edge. It is also capable of smaller slower speed turns as well do to it being full reverse camber. It is a very versatile charger.
 
I rode the Kitten Factory Chairman last year. It's not exactly a pow ski, but it charges hard and kicked ass in pow/chunder. Pretty stiff flex, and light weight compared to everything else in its class.
 
Never ridden any of them but blizzard makes pretty stiff off-piste skis from what I've heard

The bonafide seems pretty burly!
 
Nordica Helldorados, 2 layers of metal, 113 underfoot... they ski like a minitank with a Ferrari engine under the hood. Not for the faint of heart out of shape waif though, and a bit heavy so rotations take more effort.
 
198 Volkl Katana (two seasons ago if you can find some)

195 Kastle BMX 108 (Hugo Harrison's old pro model)

202 Movement Super Turbo

194 Salomon El Dictator (again couple of seasons old but probs some about)

192 Dynastar Big Dump (2012 was the last year but theres some on ebay)

190 Dynastar Cham 117
 
Yeah, probably Faction Thirteens for production. But if you want that type of charger, get a pair of On3p Cease and Desist, maybe with some extra carbon in the layup. Would be like skiing on an I-beam.

Oh, I've got Blizzard Bodacious as well.

I can't explain how stiff and burly Thirteens are.
 
Faction 13s

191 K2 Seth (118mm)

196 Bodacious

191 ON3P Wrenegade.

193 ON3P Cease and Desist (extra carbon or older model.

I'm selling some 2012? ON3P 193 C&ds that are real kitten killin sticks. run over a small family and not notice sort of stiff and big.

193cm tall, 127mm under foot, and stiff as fucking shit.

Where are you getting the "48m" radius. The internet says 29m?
