from what ive heard, the explosive is extremely stiff. so unless your big or can ride powder well, go with something else. but from people who are strong skiiers - they've loved it.
you can't go wrong with 4FRNT, strong skis, wide and they can take you other places on the mtn. the scratch bc can also do the same. seth pistol, can do the same. if i were you, id compare dimensions on the Pistol, MSP, Scratch BC, (maybe explosive too) and see which one will fit you best.
