Hey;

I ski east side Canada so I got myself some 177 afterbangs since it's rare to find me some pow around here but I have some extra money to get a second pair so I figured i'd get some all mountain/pow skis, maybe rockered i dunno.

Any suggestions?

Preferably pm's but i'll check the thread :P

Surface has a few skis in the width range you'd be looking at, like the 100-110 range

get the Salomon 2012, they are rockered park skis, so you can ride pow in them, but because there isn't alot of pow around there you can still ski park perfectly normal in them!

I'd go with the 2011 K2 Kung Fujas (fatter and rockered), 2011 Volkl Bridge (rockered), Rossignol S3 (rockered) or the Line Blend (Fatter, softer, and rockered).


All are around 95-102mm underfoot, all are rockered but still carve great. All can be used equally as well in the park and outside of the park.

best reply so far.




to those of you saying Jah Loves, JJs and other pow skis... those are not very good suggestions. How on earth is a really fat pow ski a good all mountain ski?


I've never skied them, but the Kung Fujas have always perked my interest for an all mountain ski. I recommend those.

The kung fujas sounds like exactly what you are looking for. It is an amazing al mountain ski that will be fun everywhere. Has some nice rocker and is soft in the tip and tail.

Best reply still.  I'd also add that an older pair of Seth's would be another good candidate.

go for the bent chetlers: theyre 123 underfoot, one of the closest pow skis to being symmetrical, loads of rocker, and camber underfoot. also early taper's a bonus.

I have last years kung fujas as my all mountain ski. Definitely recomended. The 2011s are even fatter. 100 under foot im pretty sure. Cant go wrong. They do it all.

Nobody mentioned Line Sir Francis Bacons? Early rise, tight radius, buttery skis. Fun on groomers and in the deep stuff. Also capable of park skiing.

i'll toss this into the mix....you'll want something around 95-110 underfoot make sure the ski has early rise rocker tip and tail and camber underfoot so you can shred the groomers on the way back to lift. i'm rocking an S7 for powder days and it rides the groomers super well. here is a few to check out:

4FRNT CRJ - badass tool for what you are looking for
Nordica Zero (2011 only)
Fujas
Rossi S6
Blizzard The One
4FRNT MSP

line blends or kungfujas come to my mind...

or if you enjoy fatties, look around and get yourself a pair of line Elizabeths ....

i wouldn't get anything fatter than 110 for EC though ...

Because he asked for: "all mountain/pow skis"

Salomon threats? Nordica jah loves? K2 revival? 2012?

Armada JJ? Salomon Czar? bent chetler?

I posted my suggestions already ;)

I guess OP could have been more specific, but some of the suggestions seem retarded to me.
