The Line EP Pros, Armada ARG's, and K2 Hellbents are all great choices if you wanna try out the whole reverse camber thing.

hmmm.. Lake Tahoe you dont need anything as fat as you would if you were at Mt Baker..

Try some Salomon 1080's they may be your best bet

word. checkout moment skis...so tight



but anything over 100mm at the waist will prolly work for you. just checkout the stiffness of the skis too and get what works for you. theres so many options people will just list the common fav's. look in powder mag and places like that, read reviews. try to demo if you can since they are relatively more expensive
