not lizzies, you need pubbies prob. even without knowing ur weight and height... publics or karmas or chronics are prolly wat u want. we dont get pow days here anyways so no need to worry about that. all those skis will take u anywhere over the mtn and they are all good in the park

def get the elizabeths awesome ski, u might want to consider the line prophet 130s to. I heard very good in trees. Maybe some pontoons and i heard armada is coming out with the ARG that you might want to consider. Reverse camber.
Search bar noob, same stuff as last years, so search it

Little of it on the east, haha, you must not be looking hard enough and skiing in the wrong places. I've had deeper days in the east then out west.

well here's the thing. I had a handful of real powder days last season (above the knee) one was in october, and the rest were in dec/jan. Typically we'll get a few feet on a good dump, and within a few days it's gone. I know that places like Jay peak get tons of pow, but i dont ski there. On average, the west coast has lots more powder than the east coast. Chances of skiing every day on powder are very slim, so buying a fat ski isnt that smart unless A: you have a back up for icy days. B: just prefer them ie. "Wider is better" or  C: only ski on days that there's powder to be had.

where the hell were you skiing, was there a good 3 inches of ice on top of that fresh pow. Seriously. The east is all about ice, and granular snow. Plus i am gonna go with.....buy what ever the hell you want. Go out and shop around, make up your own mind. I have Line Prophet 130s, and i leave in fucking northern Ontario, which is Garbage hills ( literaly hills made of old burryed piles of garbage) ice, and ice snow. I don't give a shit what other people tell me. Just buy the ski you think will work best for you.
