where you ski
what kind of riding you like
what terrain you ride
basically just the basic bio
word.
I would check out the ON3p jefferey, Icelantic nomad RKR, Faction 3.zero, Line blend, Rossignol sickle and moment bibby's.
all sound like they would be good choices based on your skiing style.
Same.
12/13 ON3P Billy Goats, hands down. Tour layup if you can swing it. I'm fully converted, and will be posting a big review when I have a chance to get out on them a little more, but they are the best goddam pow ski and somehow manage to rip on the groomers too- Didn't think that was possible on a pintailed & rockered the f out ski. I've taken them uphill and they are just cambered enough to give good grip on the skintrack and are incredibly light without being feathery and impossible to charge with. Total confidence inspiring ski doing just about anything, and SO MUCH FUN!
They're not exactly ugly either.
Also another vote for Worths right here, they should def be on your short list. I have a pair now, and another pair on the way from them. Pressed by Praxis but designed for eastern bombage.
Humpbacks are 110 underfoot and a total blast. Rocket ship with dual personality and tons of fun in the pow while maintaining that traditional feel and stabillity in any condition. They make chop and mank their bitch too, so it is hardly just a pow ski. Totally flickable in the trees and bumps too, the better your form the more they just open up and let you do anything.
Here's a pic of me skiing them last spring at Jay. They dominate everything haha
Not to mention the Worth guys are the coolest. They will even custom make you topsheets, as I have done for both my pairs. You automatically get to select your own core and layup options to tailor the ski for yourself, so that's a nice touch at no extra cost above any other indie. You can select any topsheet they have ever used for I think $25 or they will design one from the ground up if you want.
They made Bacon topsheets for my Daily Breads
And these pure carbon Magics (should be out next year) are in the mail right now.
So yeah, Worth is definitely worth a look haha
I own skis from both currently and have ridden a couple skis from both brands, I'd be happy to try to answer any specific questions you might have.
