UH? if your coming out here you should get something bigger than those. Dude those are like park skis in a foot and a half of powder. Get something like 100+ underfoot

you guys are absurd. to say a ski with almost a 100mm waist us not fat enough to ski powder is rediculous. candide and sage seem to find it more than sufficient ripping lines in alaska... seriously it's been a while since i've heard anything so silly... anywhere. a few years ago 85mm was fucking fat.

yeah if you could get some skis with 100 waist that would be the best, but any where over 90 waist is good.

yea, and the bc is stiffer than the salomon, which i think is better. and the difference underfoot is 3 mm. HUGE difference

Whatever.... dude after being out here i dont care what was big 2 years ago. 120 or anywhere 100+ as in bigger than 100,(sorry if i have to explain) is the way to go. unless you just want to do soul brohan turns through the trees. If you dont like my opinion then ski whatever the hell you want, I was just offering my 2cents. What can I say I like big skis. thats why im going to be on 136 underfoot, and 188 in length.

sorry but i mean i have the bc cause they are a great everything ski
if u get a ski 130 underfoot how many bays are you gonna ski on it 5, 6 maybe 10 if your super lucky
i dont think that is worth the $$$ your gonna have to spend on them

HAHAHAHAHAHA, uhh^^^^^. well lets see, last season in the month of march alone i skied 15 powder days. 5 or 6 days ahahahahaha, try like 50. NOt to mention, If youve never skied skis that big, you dont realize that it doesnt have to be like 4 feet deep to have them be fun. On days when there is say only 4 or 5 inchs, and you have a ski that big you stay on top and you dont hit all the hard shit on the bottom. And if you want some big skis that you dont have to pay 800 for check momentskis.com. shits affordable
