I'd probably suggest something like the Concept actually in 165. That's a tight ski, reems the park pipe and groom. Haven't tried it in deep powder but took into stuff about 30cms deep and it did pretty well. If you could get last years Darkside in a 170 then that would be ideal but you can't, ummm, Maaaaybe the pocket rocket in a 165 but personally I hated them, dunno, do some demos but the one that springs to mind for me is the concept.

I think there's like me..and 2 other people on this whole site that think the pocket rockets absolutly rule. They would destroy sunshine. They just suck on heavy spring now.

i would probly go with the new 1080's in a 171. i took them to whistler and they rules in the park and the backcountry.

Even the new scratch might be alright aye, I wouldn't recommend the new 1080s, they suck. and if you don't like the pocekt rockets then don't go for them either
