Best pow ski?

in all honesty my favorite is still the volant spatula, just fucking kills it in the pow

hellbents? dont think it has a reverse side cut though

Volant spatula lol - got banned from a couple resorts 'cause it was the first production ski featuring reverse camber, and people didn't know how to control it correctly out of pow and were slamming into people at the bottom of chairlifts. Where can you even buy it? I haven't seen it on any site for purchase (probably for a good reason) but I doubt its better than any of the skis on his list which are new designs that stemmed from it.

dps lotus if you're rich

Movement flyswatter has ridiculous reverse camber or rocker, i dont really know for sure, its pretty new on the market for a lot of reviews, but it looks revolutionary....

alse the pontoon maybe, it has spatula as well...

Scott stunt's a strange duck as well, its basically a straight plank with venturi holes cut out, front and rear, really bizarre...

dude, that's such a subjective question. there is no "best pow ski" just as there is no "best park ski". they all have their strong and weakpoints and they all slay in powder.

god your so worthless. i said reverse side-cut skis of which there aren't a lot so this should be pretty simple.  it's clearly a subjective topic pretty much everything in skiing applies to the individual rider, i was just trying to spike a discussion so i could weigh the pros and cons, and figure out which shredding tool complements me the best.  besides, there should be an overall best performer in the pow i'm just trying to derive that -- so quit being a disruptive troll and tell me something i dont know, maybe about the skis.

like why do idiots feel the need to bud in and leave their senseless commentary on every little matter, crying about the most trivial of things? if you don't like it don't waste your precious time (sarcasm) to comment. some of you act like it's your shitty day job to scan these forums giving out your advice, and you get all pained at first sight of an improper post, or one asking the question "best pow ski" , that can't be answered in one sentence because it's a slightly controversial topic -- big deal. most of you aren't even mods, it's pathetic, so whats with these pretentious posting standards. if you're just joking, that's fine, but most of you are totally serious and need to go outside and clear your heads -- might i recommend skiing? -- , because these forums are obviously a way too stressful environment for your cock-headed brains to reside in. to /rant i will conclude with: if you can't take the heat, go cool your self off with a dose of pow. maybe that will cure your swollen-heads, and you'll learn to mellow out and be capable of a mature conversation.

okay, back on topic -any more opinions on these skis? whos ridden the lotus 138 looks sick (yeah the price too!).

best feeling in pow - ep pro

best straight up pow floating and shredder - dps lotus 138 202cm flex 3

best tree pow ski - lotus in smaller length probably

best backcountry jib ski - hellbents

IMO

they are rediciliously expenisive almost like a 1000 dollar skis.. fuck that haha

hahahaha, oh the hypocrisy.

i wasn't joking but i wasn't angry or anything. I was just trying to point out how indecisive your post was. I meant it was subjective because of exactly what you said, everyone has a different oppinion but you had to ask for the best, not what is our favorite or what we've had experience with.

whatever, it's a hopeless cause. i'm gunna go troll some more forums cuz that's totally what I do in my free time.

it is hopeless, to think that silly trolls will ever stop criticizing simple understated posts. you're rash dude. you respond instantly with hypocrite but upon intelligent further review of my actual post , there was clearly a question having outlining deciding factors -- not related to personal skiers style -- with an objective direction implied. i'm so sorry the title was a little blunt for your arrogant impulsive manner to look beyond. does everything have to be so clearly stated for you idiots? you're like some prosecutory force awaiting the chance to pounce instantly on some minor obscurity, like ns is some kind of court and knowing everything about skiing is law. try helping people when they're confused. you obviously didn't read my reply because the whole thing was to point out how ill-mannered some people here are -- which you so kindly reinforced with your response. unfortunatelly i neglectfully figured douchebags like you would hop on my dick (title) about this from  the very beginning; you can't just denote things based on your childish, impulsive behavior. once again, everything on this site is a matter of personal opinion, so enough with this immature overcritical behavior -- nobody likes a nit-picker

and it would seem that you are just here to provide your witless negative commentary, and not to actually help anyone.

i would make fun of you for buying girls poles but there are a lot stupider ones in this thread.
i would make fun of you for being an idiot but i'm not an idiot like you....


pretty cliche and thoughtless if you ask me. it's obviously a joke too, but you still get all worked up. maybe your just trying to build your post count -- to inflate your ego? sweet, e-pride! --- 'cause that or your attitude sucks, are the only other explanations providable for these ignorant attacking posts. an accurate analogy: these kind of responses can only be attributed to the attitude of a girl, while on her period; but perhaps it's just your nature. I guess all that we can do is ignore, in hopes people eventually will grow-up. on that note, i will retire.

wow, get shit on.

holy balls.
OWNED.


IMHO.
i want some bibbbbbbys.

you saw one other post of mine on the internet and you automatically assume I'm a post whoring, unthoughtful person who gets worked up over trivial, minuscule posts? 

you put more effort into flaming me twice now than you did into your original post of the thread.

grow up.



if you want my opinion, I've had my eye on the Pontoons, the Donner Party and the new volkl one but I hate the graphic for this year.

that's it? thats all you can muster up? i wasn't even referring to your post whoring, and the implication was that you fit into my posts description perfectly. I was referencing, genious, from a thread that i was reading, right before someone bumped my own back to the top. but anyways to slam you once again for another verified douchebag response, thanks for your timely reply, post whore! it would appear that you weren't being sarcastic when you said "becuase that's totally what i do with my free time"

these "i am rubber you are glue" responses are once again, very cliche and thoughtless. i've pointed out your idiocies and all you can do is dodge and repeat my jokes back to me? also, it didn't take me long (maybbe 20mins) respond to you're stupid response, but nice try.

ps- thanks for your input on the skis! do that first next time

Lol way to screw up your grammar dude at the end, and you were tieing it all off so nicely..failll haha

If money isn't an issue I would go with the dps lotus 138, if it is then the donner party; but they're all nice skis..

Haha did anyone lol when they saw the OPs username?




I did.

Yup. That's it. 

I didn't feel the need to say anymore. You are overreacting so much it's hilarious.  I don't feel the need to spend 20 min trying to outwit some guy on the internet who I not only don't know, but who is blowing the situation way out of proportion.  Relax man, all in good fun.  If trolling is what I "totally do with my free" time then I totally didn't spend all night last night at a fundraiser for fellow cancer survivors at the Relay for Life, I'm certainly not going skiing tomorrow and I'm certainly not going to reply to another overly reactive post of yours. 

If you had spent as much time creating your thread here as you have spent picking apart an analyzing the deeper meaning behind each and every one of my posts, then you might have had better responses in your thread.  If you had been around here long enough to really know my posts, you'd see that I do help people when I can, which is exactly what I was trying to do when I pointed out the subjectivity of your thread but you had to go ahead and jump all over me for it.  Just ignore it and move on if a comment like that really bothers you that much.  You effectively doomed your own thread by picking shit with me.  Plus, there's kids who have been around here for a year that have more posts than me. I've been on this site for almost 5 now.

I said it the first time. Take a step outside of that little box that contains your inflated ego and grow up.


Peace (had to leave you with a cliche comment)

okay first of all you did not and will never outwit me, and second let this thread die off mane, i won! you got owned like the dude said above. i'm the flaming master brah i'm from calgary. you picked shit with me  when you wasted your time pointing out some irrelevant useless shit. my thread was over 5 and 1/2 hours dead, and the other i referenced from was like 3 hours -- and some guy had already knocked that guy previously for his pole post -- and you still stuck in your terrible burn! man, thanks for calling me hilarious though, cause i was definitelly playin you the whole time. but fo real, some ppl do act like that -- maybe you're not one of them. anyways i got the info i needed, and people kept posting after i wrote so i think i effectively kept it alive if anything. peas (cliche?)

oh and touche with the cancer shit man that was a real nice touch. playin that role never fails, you can never make knock a guy after that. totally flipped the tables on me and made me look like an asshole haha
