I'm looking for a powder ski that is decent on groomers. I'm looking at the hellbent, chopstick, and prophet 130. I'm 6'1" and about 215 so i need a decently stiff ski. thanks ++k.
^^^^ my bad should have read better the ep will be to soft i guess, i love the Atomic Bent Chetler but ive herd if your a big guy they might be a little soft too but their suppost to do groomers well for fat skis
these should work just fine
if you want a ski that can jib, rip in the pow, AND be good (and not just doable) in the groomers/hardpack, then you should probably consider the armada jj, and you could probably get away with it on the rossi s7 though the tail is a decent amount narrower than the tail so i don't know how well it would ski switch though i've seen videos of it being done. The only other ski that i can think of that will do all of those is maybe an atomic thug (no rocker but still fun as hell), and the bent chettler is prolly too small for you.
line mothership and skis like that which are heavier/stiffer with only nose rocker are great for ripping big mt., but not so great for jibbing.
personally i think the s7's would be a kick ass ski, and they are making it in a 195 this year. i'm sure they would be sick, but pulled some triggers on some on3p wrenegades.
