Replying to Help!! Fischer Atua or Dynastar Big Trouble
I have been extensively researching both these skis all season, and I still can't decide between the two!!!
I am 5'11" 180lbs, aggresive skier, ski everything from park, groomers, big open bowls, trees, steep narrow icy mogul runs like "Devils Crotch", zipper bump lines, you name it. Pow Pow is my fav (big surprise), and is what I try to ski the most. I am currently skiing the Fischer Addict Pro as my park ski, and I love it, now I need a ski for everything else. My concern is the Atua will be to soft for high speeds down steep bowls filled with crud. And my concern with the Big trouble is that it won't float as well as the Atua (narrower ski and stiffer tip then tail), and won't be quite as responsive on groomers. I will be skiing alot of groomers when skiing with my wife and daughter. My last all mtn ski was the Line Pollard Pro 186, and it was a great ski, just looking for something with a little more float.
Help me please,
I have been reading all the threads I can find on the web (here, Teton Gravity, barking bear, tele sites) I have also talked to a couple of different shop techs with mixed results. Unforunately I will not be able to demo these skis.
