Im moving to Utah for this comming season and was looking to buy some fat twins. Im from the east so i ahve a pair of head mojo 80s and i figure i could keep those for strict park riding but for everything else i want to get a ski that is good in pow and pretty much everywhere on the mountain. im like 5'10" or 11" and im like 200lbs. Im a pretty aggressive skier so i want something thats gonna hold up well in everything.
any recomendations?

if you like line a whole bunch, sell the mojos and get some anthems. 93 underfoot will do nicely in pow

but wouldn't they be a too soft to handle pretty much anything but pow and park. i need something that will cut through chopped up pow and crud and anything else the mountain has

seth's kill it.

i rode my cousins in breck, and they killed the pow, crud, groomers etc.

if i wasnt from the east coast i would buy them in a heartbeat.

what size do you think if i got the seths cause they are only in 169 179 and 189. i feel like the 179 might be a little short but idk and the 189 would be pretty damn long so idk

189 is fine.  If you want to take these big mountain at least.  I would say that if you are skiing more park then the rest of the mountain then go with 179, but otherwise, seths are awesome at big sizes.  This ski owns.
