Hi there! I'm in the market for a pow ski for next season. I am planning a trip to Europe to ski all season, hoping to get into some backcountry stuff. I'm looking for a playful ski that will preform great in powder, but still hold it's own inbounds and on hardback. I weigh 160 and am 6 foot, I'm an experienced skier from Onterrible who has skied bc numerous times. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated!

Are you a freestyle skier who hits BC jumps or skis switch often? Also, when you say backcountry, do you mean boot pack, or do you plan on touring?

Do you have a width in mind? What ski's have you ridden? If you are looking for something really fat check out the magic j's or bubbas from armada. If you want something not as fat look at the salomon rocker2's or moment bibby pro's. for touring you can't go wrong with the moment exit worlds.

Same questions as above^

Also: what is your budget? And what have you used in the past when skiing bc and the likes?

Just a side interest where you skiing in Europe?

I skied the bentchetlers last time I was in bc and had a blast, great for tearing around switch and fun on booters. I'm looking for a wide ski that will still hold it's own in bounds, but I want to start touring aswell
