Alright guys, I need some opinions. I have a chance to get almost any 05/06 ski I want with the exception of the newschool brands.I need a quick turning,fat ski. I love trees,pow,bumps and cliffs. I am very agressive. Im going to be skiing mainly Gore,Ny, Jay Peak, and Utah. 70% eastcoast, 30% west. I seek out the pow and soft snow in the east.I also do a lot of bc in the east so i do need a fat ski. So I've narrowed it down to a few. I am 5'6",120lbs.I want no shorter than 165cm and no longer than 178cm.Any other suggestions and reasons why one ski is better than another would be appreciated.

1.Dynastar Legend 8800 168cm
2.K2 Apache Chief 167/174cm
3.K2 Seth Vicious 169 cm
4.Rossi Bandit B4 168 cm
5.Head Monster IM 88 176 cm
6.Rossignol Scatch BC 176 cm

Right now I am leaning towards the Legends or Chiefs.Thanks for all your help guys!

I would get the BC's because they are good in the park also. Fugitives would also be a good ski. If not either of those get armadas or lines to support the smaller ski industy company's. Be differnt.

you really dont need a big ski like the vicious if you ski mainly east coast. there is little or no powder on the east coast.

everyone is saying BC or Vicious because they are twin tips and cool and popular for park too, but because you said that you were an aggressive skier (strong legs I assume) you need a stiffer ski like a Monster, a Legend or a Rossignol B3. BC's and vicious are awesome as well in powder and everywhere else but they're softer skis.




Gravity sucks

What's the difference between a drunk and stoner at a stop sign???

The drunk speeds through, the stoner waits for the sign to turn green.
