176 armada ar6 183 volkl gotama (no rocker) El dictator 198 b squad I'm looking for a dedicated powder ski, something 118+ underfoot, rockered (ethier full reverse camber or rockered tips and tails). I like stiff skis as I'm 6'3 195, problem is I haven't spent to much time on dedicated POWDER skis. Any recommendations? Interested to hear what the mags think would fit nicely with my quiver.

Fat and stiff?

Go with the 194 Surface New Life. Symmetrical, 122 in the waist. I'm your size, and I have them center mounted, they absolutely charge everything. Amazing float, you can smear everything.

You'll love them

do you want a jibby ski? do you ski switch or do you just want to charge deep pow forwards?

If you're looking for a dedicated powder ski, check out some reverse sidecut options like the arg, donner party, lotus 138, etc.

or not, full reverse is soooo specific, if you don't mind switching skis mid day then they are fine, but if not....

next year's billy goats and C&D actually are reverse sidecut from boot center forward, they fucking RIP, even on groomers(for a ski that size)

I'd be open to a jinny ski that can still hold it's own when conditions get tracked out. Something lively like the old atomic pimps maybe? I'm open to any suggestions but I've got the chargers covered with my el dictators and b squads.

Closest I know of is Wasatch Pow guides out in SLC. We're opening up to retailers this year, so if you want ON3P skis out near you, ask your local shop. A few shops we met at SIA are hopefully going to be getting some demo skis in the mail here pretty soon, and if you know a shop that should be on our list, let me know.

I've got the ON3P caylors and I love them, so fun yet the medium stiff flex allows you to charge whilst still leaving room for you to get jibidy

i ride pow switch on mine, i actually find it easier than forward on my JJs that I had mounted too far forward to ski properly on (yes I regret it). i've seen nobody else do it at my mountain though.

My bad, end of a long work day when that was posted.


Going to be rolling through SLC in a few weeks, would be sweet to meet up if the snows decent.
