older twins or twins that are more skinnier under foot. my dynastar candide were awsome in the glades...i think the karma would be too big to throw around in the glades.

perhaps troublemakers. They have a pretty good sidecut and seem pretty nimble.

Something with around a 90 waist is perfect for trees IMO. They will handle well and be tossable while still allowing you to float out those stashes. I would consider Rossi BC's, ARV's, maybe the new FS, Karmas, Pocket Rockets...

I'd vote for the pocket rockets/guns. They're light, wide and turn super ez.

Chronics are pretty good. They're stiff enough and they're light and responsive but not too stiff for park.

PR's are pretty sweet in the trees, real quick turning, and forgiving

never seen them in person but a company called phantom skis hypes their crystal ship as an east coast glade ski. Looks really short and fat.
Heres some marketing crap i found on them...
"The Crystal Ship, Phantom's only available model, sports a drastic side-cut (162/113/154) creating a ski capable of floating in deep powder and carving in tight trees. The perfect Jay Peak ski?"

I use my SPs in the trees all the time. They turn plenty fast if you know how to ski...and that's tight vermont trees.
