just curious, but what does everyone use during the deep pow days in the wasatch?
i'l be using skogen sprang pro's which are 86mm underfoot, do u think that will have some good float or will i sink like a rock?

Last year's Jp vs. Julien's. You are missing out on A LOT if you roll on skinny skis in the Wasatch

190 Karhu Jaks 97mm waist. 86 is kind of narrow, depending on how long they are and how heavy you are.

i think that you'll be ok, but it'll be tough. i mean 86mm underfoot isnt THAT skinny. but 178 is kinda short for your weight. You'll learn to ski them no doubt and they'll be fine. All i know is mine are 192 and i love it.

i used madd trix mojo's last year they were a lil small for the real deep shit, i just had to ski faster to stay on top wich was more fun anyways. if u are only gona ski powder once and a while i would just demo some powder skis. but if u have to buy a powder skis i would get rossi b4's, seth pistols, or gotmas
