looking for a more playful, soft and possibly rockered pow ski, but that can still charge and not completely suck for the occasional park run. im 5' 8" 130 and live in the pnw. width: between 95-115mm. length: 165-175cm. was looking at the new rossi s3, 4frnt crj and vct turbo, volkl gotama. ideas?

Or even the elizabeth at 172 its more of what your looking for, and they rip all over the mtn, kill it in the park, and hold up in the pow. But if you want to go more pow oriented and dont mind much about the length go SFB.

i think jeronimos might be a little narrow come to think of it and the 179 ll2s might be a bit too long.

Hellbents if park is minimal. Maybe Elizabeths if its not super deep pow. Or possibly the new S3s or ON3P Jeronimos

If you want to step up the waist width that you're looking for a little bit, we also offer the Caylor in a 171. 148 - 120 - 140, full rocker tip and tail for deep day slaying whether its switch or not. And stiffer than comparable skis so you can really let 'em loose and charge the shit out of that line you've been scoping all season.

The VCT Turbo actually sounds like a good choice for you.

The armada jj would be perfect its 115 in the waist its got rocker and it has camber underfoot so you could use it all mountain and the occasional park run
