i don't know, i'll bet they'd be pretty awesome as a strictly bc ski. regardless of the powder depth.

arg i am not completley sure about, however every review/person i have talked to about the pontoon have said that it is a ski made only for epic pow days. and that it BLOWS everywhere else.

Prophet 130s and ANTs are both huge sick skis. ANTs are a little longer which would be good for you cause you're really tall however prophet 130s do have more overall surface area. I personally think the ANTs are a bit more versatile and on the days that aren't totally epic you'll have more fun on the ANTs

yup, they said it. ants would kill it.
they also said gots, they were also right.

i dunno if you want a fat twin or not or how hard you charge. if your pretty fearsome and want some burly muthas to break the land speed record down huge faces, look at the legend pro (xxl), b-squads or m103s.

gots or ants sound like the sensible choix though...

id go for some JPvs.Juliens probly the 188cm, i think they are 188. but they should do good.. if your just gunna ski pow though and no jumps, maybe try some K2 Pontoons, or Amrada ARG's, when they come out.

Go with an untraditional shape, you'll never go back. I don't know what spatulas are going for on ebay these days, I know the price has gone up, but really anything with reverse camber. You'll love them. Oh and you don't need ridiculous amounts of snow to work them, they're awesome in anything soft.

gotamas = sick.      markers = not so sick.   nice price tho.


gotamas, ANTs, and 130s are all good choices.
