Hi guys,

I would like to ask for advice. I would like to buy freeride/powder ski. I made to define my top 3 skis but then I am not really sure. I want to ride all kinds of freeride terrain mainly resort freeride, forest, open plains (in Alps). I currently ride Faction CT 2.0 I really like the way how they perform on slope. Therefore I would like to buy something similar. I consider myself as intermediate/expert skier. My style of riding is something between playful and charging. I am 194cm tall about 90kg so I need the longest lenght of each model.

Thank you for any advice.

Why not the CT 4.0 then?

Comes in 194cm as well.

I grew up in the Alps and I’ve ridden all 3. The Anima is by far the best one, the Mordecai and the Bent Chetler are geared more towards the PNW. Also check out the Faction Candide 4.0 in a 194, another great skis

I was thinking about CT 4 too but according to blister they seem quite stiffer and have a long radius so in forest and tight places it could be a problem. I really like their shape.

I am sorry I don't know what is "PNW". Have you ridden also CT 4.0? Could you possibly compare CT 4.0 with Anima? I believe that all skis which I mentioned above are great in pow. I need to choose one which is good also on hardpack, crud and still quite stable and playful a bit.

PNW is pacific north west, meaning northwest United States and Canada like Washington, Vancouver, etc. The 4.0 and anima are very similar, the main difference being weight. Both are really playful, stable, and good on hardpack. Anima is a little better in crud due to its weight

What conditions are specific for the PNW area? What is actually the difference? Why I should not take into consideration Mordecai and Chetlers? I do not want to have a conflict with you or something like that I just want to get as much information as possible. Thankx for your replies :)
