My Powder Skis for Next Year

I just put a $200 retainer down on some 195cm Praxis Powder skis: 131-136-121, reverse sidecut and rockered. Praxis, an indy ski maker out of Tahoe, is selling these skis (also in 175cm and 185cm) for a super-cheap $400 if you put down the first $200 now. These skis have been reviewed very favorably by the powder-savvy folks at the TGR forum.

Anyhow, the last day to get this deal is May 6. The price goes up to $700 afterward.

They're certainly not everyday skis. But they apparently kill soft snow and hucks.

How do you like your ARGs? I think the Praxis will be somewhat similar.

I'm 6'1", 190 lbs., ski aggresively, and rockered skis are supposed to ski a little short. So it shouldn't be a problem. Also, I'm looking for something to supplement my 186cm Prophet 100s. I love my Prophets, my I could definitely use a much bigger, burlier ski for hard charging and hucking.

Praxis are the shit. If you have any question about size, go bigger. They ski and run short. Super sick though.

pure powder ski, pintail design compared to regular sidecut. Huge difference. I'm in between the 185 and 195, but think im sticking with the 185, for touring and tight trees. So stoked.
