Armada JJs or the ARV 116 would be something to look into

KITTEN FACTORY COME BACK!!!

OP see if you can find an older 4FRNT CRJ too. Bentchetlers, Catamaran, ARV 116 JJ, BillyGoat, & Kartel 116 are good options as well.

All great options above, might suggest the Nomad 125 from Icelantic as well. They used to be called the Gypsy and can be found pretty cheap if you look around a bit.

k2 Catamaran. I've tried quite a few of the playful/surfy skis around that waist width and for me it was the most fun by a long way

Yeah I totally read that wrong. But true, hopin KF sees this though.

From what I’ve heard they’re still making skis, but not full production.

ZypherInthayne review yet?


Hopefully soon! Snow came a bit late, just picked them up from the shop yesterday. Was hoping to get on them today, but my home hill isn’t open and the nearest one raises ticked prices. Itching to get on snow without breaking the bank.

honestly not sure how good my review is gonna be though, because they’re making some pretty big changes to the inthayne next year.

this years inthayne: 122 underfoot, 35m radius
next Years: 117ish underfoot, 30m radius, completely new tip/tail, etc.

ill still put out a review though

I own and ski the pescados everyday at Alta (partly because I sold my other skis but mostly because they are such a fun ski). I can not recommend them more. Pony up - you will not be disappointed.

I thought you didn’t wanna go over 120? Pescados are 125.

theres a brand called smart skis that makes handmade skis and i emailed them about wanting a surfy pow ski and they designed me one in a couple days. im gonna go with that route considering they are half the price of the pescados.
