Wets In Powder

I feel like there should be a thread to appreciate (not really) how TERRIBLY wets and some other park dedicated skis hold up in pow and all mountain.
I know nobody is really taking these skis out for this, but recently I had to take my wets out (currently my only mounted skis) to timberline for preview weekend and they did NOT hold up in the slightest.
I just think its funny how good these skis can be for rails but how worthless they are when it comes to allm and pow lol

They’re ok if it’s nice and dry and untracked but anything heavy or choppy and those noses really just fold in half lol

Should try HEAD Super Shape E-Rally in a 177. Much better for all conditions and really good on rails too

Centre mount makes a big difference, that makes a ski suck more in powder.
