This years kung fujas I hope.

2012 is to small imo if you're in the west for a single quiver ski

i use last year's kung fujas and they do fine. really good if you put marker schizos on them so then you can ride it center in the park and back in the pow.

Rossi S3. Not too fat underfoot, but wide enough everywhere else so it floats in powder, as far as all mountain skis go.

And to the guy who said JJ's, poor recommendation (no disrespect), but my dad has those, and they are terrible on groomers, and if you're skiing it in the park, that is what you are on if you aren't on a feature, so no, not JJ's, but fantastic pow ski.

who said hellbents? you can jib with it I guess, pain in the ass tho but the blends are much more balanced. btw blends are only tip rockered, not tail, that bothers me. surprized the 2012 isnt said more, probably the most balanced out there

at risk of sounding like a surface faggot, I do like skiing my new lifes in the park as well as pow. Sure they're not perfect for park, but if you need a ski that does both, I 'd go for them.

Really the ski you're looking for is the s3 or a similar shape, I wouldn't stray much farther than 4-5mm waist wise from that.

The answer to this question entirely depends on where/what you ski and your height/weight. How has nobody asked that yet?
