ok so for christmas i got a week long trip to Switzerland from my mom so im going to be out there in febuary. I just bought a pair of 06 PEs and was wondering how they hold up in pow, or if i would be better off just trying to find some fats to rent while im there?

thanks

it depends on how you have your pe's mounted up. if they are mounted ture center, or moddern on the pe's (the pe's moddern mount is really agressive) then i'd recommend trying to rent some fat powder skis... thats if theres powder. I live up in steamboat and have fs's for the park, and bc's for powder... and there is a huge difference in riding experience. Fat skis are much easier on the calfs... no lean back

i'd say if its good pow then go rent some skis ( i consider good pow to be 10+ inches) otherwise you'll be fine on those i'd guess
