K, I made this thread like 2 days ago and it appears to have been deleted which isn't very helpful for my research, anyhow, here i go again...

I'm about 6 feet, 85 kgs/12.5 stone.
I need a ski for everyday skiing. For me this means about 1/3 off piste (anything from 2 feet of pow to shitty crud etc in trees, tight chutes, open bowls + little cliffs and natural hits, 1/3 bc booters, 1/3 groomers and park. My first thought was Seth 179, Scratch BC 178/185 or Big Trouble 176/186.

I then saw the 07 Tha 187, and I know graphics shouldn't affect my decision, but it does look absolutely dope! I have no experience of this ski as 9thward is hard to get in europe so if anyone could tell me if it would be suitable for my purposes, please be so kind as to share your views...

i had last years 187's and i loved those skis. bomber construction that will never fail you. they are badass all around too. the dimensions make them seem like a rather large ski but they are light for their size and with the amount of side cut they have they preform awesome at all times. the only complaint i had is that they waist is a little to wide for hardpacked super bomber icey days. if you can get over that they are awesome for bc booter, powder, groomers, and park. just make sure yyou are ready to make a step up to something a little bigger because these skis are no joke.
