Hi all!

I am looking for a powder ski I can use mainly for pow days, which i'd mount with touring bindings for when i'm feeling adventurous!
(Currently don't own any touring gear but am in the market for some)

SPECS:
107-112 underfoot
168-178cm length
Preferably lightweight
For an advanced skier - I don't mind if it's a mens ski (no preference though)
I like shorter turns but as it's for pow i don't mind :)

Me:
175cm
65kg

Any suggestions would be super appreciated! (I don't mind if it's an older model!)

i've got a pair of Line sick day 95 from a couple years back that i mounted with tyrolia adrenalin bindings. The ski is great for a medium pow day but i have to admit that the binding may be a little too heavy. If you're looking for a bigger ski i'd even try armadas but i'm not sure getting touring bindings would be worth it with a ski like that

the good ol rossi s 7. Super light. Tight turn radius and still pretty fat. Only complaint is that the ski is just a little soft.

Icelantic Gypsy! Just got em, playful, still charge, float/slarve/slash, and even can hold a hella good edge on softer hardpack

I can vouch for these, they are awesome. I am 135-140 pounds and 5'6 and have the 180 length. They are a little stiff tbh but you can still make them turn short and they can charge in crud and pow.

Bents with a tracker mount. 16 if youre doing comp, 13 if youre just cruising. Salomon is the same build with their guardian so get that if tracker isnt available
