the vicious certainly isnt anywhere near a big mtn ski. i think you'd be best off with some capital el jefes. im sure iggyskier will have something to say also.

straighting the cirque on foils=death. head mojo 105 would also seem like a strong choice if you dont want to dish out the money for a custom. or actually if you PM me i think you might be interested in a deal i found

^ def agree - FOIL is a great backcountry/ park mix. Fat, light and good flex in the tail but not as soft as most park skis.

Demoed karmas, PE's and FOILs and thought foils ripped.

unless you can afford a custom (delpierre picked out el jefes, good choice),

atomic pimps,
jpvsjuliens,
prophet 100s,
scratch bcs,
maden aks,
gotamas,
gun labs,
msp supermodels,
ninthward thas.

anything more park orientated will allow you to die at warp speed, anything burlier will be shit in the park.
