Replying to I want some fatties
Well, it looks like I'll be buying some fatties to ski on next year, now that I just got some scholarship money (wooohoo!). Question is... what to buy?
I love huge skis. I'm 5'11, 150 lb, and ski about 20% park, 30% all mt, and BC or pow stashes whenever I can. I already have Maden AK's... and those quickly went from my pow skis to my everyday ski. So I'm feeling something bigger.
Rockered is def of interest to me. I love the new Hellbents, but as I already have some wide ass K2's, I'm looking around at some other ski companies I've never skied before. Line's EP Pro model is at the top of my list as of now, both for it being almost 130 underfoot and the "early rise in tips and tail".
But help me open my eyes. I'm looking for a huge twin tip powder ski that will be much different in flex and ride than my Madens. I still want to be able to land and ride out of cliffs, but the softness of Line's model is really appealing to me, just because I love dinking around off shit. Anyone got any other companies or models I should look at before I start looking for a deal on some skis?
