I NEED to buy a new pair of powder skis... I wanted to get the Gotama's but my size is sold out everywhere. So they arent really an option anymore.
I just moved to Whistler and its puking here and powder skis are a must.. Im used to Alberta snow.. and the snow is much heavier out here.. So anyone have any good suggestions on what kind of skis I should look at??

I hate scratches.
I havent had a good powder ski in so long that I dont have a clue what i want.
The last ones i had were salomons and they werent anything spectacular.
Has anyone tried the Volkl Suma's?

^yea motherships are so much fun. they are not durable skis though, and they are noodles, but if you are only 5 4 that shouldnt be a big problem.
