i know most of you guys ride short twin tips but when there is a huge dump of pow what is your ski of choice? i ride more big mountain than park and use a rossi B2 183 cms, im trying to get some cheap B3's (fatties)

i just got my mojos, ive ridden them twice, and im begining to realize that they are almost powder specific. because of their stiffness you cant really use them for much other than rippin' groomers, or riding pow. take them into the park at all and your shins will be begging you to stop after about 2 jumps. sick ski though.

When I go out west I used to only have my Rossi Cobras....this year im gonna use the head mad trix that I got though...much wider ski than what I was on, should float pretty nicely.

right now... blizzard titan, but they are too narow in the waist and tail. the B3 is sick, but a bit too short. the new nobis that is coming out mid season is going to be crazy sick. and ninthward is putting a bigmountain ski together late in the year that i will be riding. it should be crazy fat.

I talked to a guy the other day in the tram line at snowbird who had teh spatula. he said they were good, but only for a day like that. we had 5 feet in two days and the mountain was closed the day before.

with that park specific flex i would think that they might not do so well, but you never know untill you try, the 85mm waist cant hurt though.
