-I way 155 lbs

-I am 6,1

- The skis primary use will be for glades in the east coast, east coast bc like tuckermans, mt mansfield, and the backside of jay, and for my 2 trips out west each year

_ Will also be used for bc booters

- I would like it to be decent in the park but that is not its main use, I have fujatives for that

-I want a ski that will be soft enough to mess around on and have fun but is stable enough for scketchy conditions

- it must be from the fallowing comapanies cuase I am going to pro fourm them from my shop

Salamon, K2, Head, Volkl, lIne, 4rnt, Dynastar

Please only awnser the question if you have actaully ridden on the ski you are recomending and tell me why you recomend them

 
sounds like someone needs JP/Juliens. nice and light cus your skinny, nice and tall cus your tall. it works out nicely dont you think?
 
i would say Seth Vicious or ARV but as armadas not on ur list i guess SV. The gotama is also nice, similar to the SV.
 
yea i am lanky but that isw not what is up for discusion we are talking about what pow skis to get. What about the Line Mo Ships or whaterv the new version of the pocket rocket is
 
Amazing ski. Very stable at high speed, with a perfect turn radius. They feel great on and off the groomed. They are wonderfull in pow, and work fine off jumps, as they aren't super heavy. Also, the metal keeps them stiff enough to save you when you sketch out a landing on a bc kicker. I mounted mine about +4cm from reccommended, and couldn't be happier.
 
There's no metal in the Gun. They also have a pretty soft flex so they will not be the most stable ski at high speed. I will attest to their lightness. The ski is fun as hell, but it does ski a little short, so demo before you buy.
 
thats what i got here in WI, and they rock it hardcore. they are really stable, but soft in the front of the bindings of fun and stiff in the tails for stability.
 
a 180 msp would be nice for sure, it would still float through everything because your really light its really stable and light and there great for park
 
^^ damn man i tought i was lanky

Yea I think im prob gona go with the Mothership but the Salamons and Seth Vicius are still a posability
 
i said i was lanky i was jsut saying that the ther kid at 6 ft and 125 lbs is more lanky

Ye ai can profourm heads to but they are supper stiff so i dont know how fun they would be for messing around
 
i'd say the moship flites or the seth's. both are soft enough for messin around on but good everywhere still. i was considerin the flites this year but i got turned off because they don't have the fatty edges or base. otherwise, i'd have bought them for sure.

so, the moships are cheaper, but the edges/base arent as thick

and the seths are more $, but better edges/base.

you make the choice

and dont get the 1080 guns please.
 
Moship without Ti (this years model is Flite only, no Ti) is too much of a noodle for serious riding. It's too late to pro-form Seth Vicious they are all sold out. Made'n is good but a bit big if you are touring a lot. Check out Volkl Gotama in 184 possibly 190. 4FRNT MSP Supermodel looks cool although i've only read about it. VCT also looks interesting.
 
ive ridden both and i can tell you that IMO the SVs are softer than the moships all around. in the tip the moships are softer but they are stiff in the tails and the SVs are soft verywhere.
 
how short are ebiths compared to another 176 ski cuase line skis are shorter then other comps 176 skis cuase they mesure diffrent
