Looking for a ski that can handle the mountain and some deeper days. Going to be skiing them in Montana mostly, but some trips are scheduled to Squaw, Vail, Brighton (hopefully alta 1 day) this year as well. Im 5'9 135lbs, but will ride them more next year than this year, so I might gain an inch or two eventually. I was looking around the 180cm range. Ill be skiing a little bit of everything on these bad boys, like 5% park, 35% pow, 50% mountain, and 20% groomers and mobbing side hits. Ive thought about the Bentchetler but 185cm seems big and to handle for my weight and are hard to find discounted. I already have a dedicated park ski. Also not looking to break the bank, so $550 budget?
Here's what id like to do in video form (same mountain ill spend most of my time on as well besides road tripsl)
