Although I am low on cash, I have thought it would be a good investment to grab a pair of wide pow skis.
these are teh brands I would like to stick too as I can get a discount.
- K2
- Rossignol
- Dynastar
- G3
- Karhu ?
I think those are them. Also, they dont have to be a 2008 model, if they are older, chances are the company might have some in stock that could go for cheaper, so what do you guys think.
Rossi
Scratch BC
Scratch BC WRS
Dynastar
Big trouble
K2
Seth
pontoon haha
hellbents?
Karhu
Jack BC
BC 100
Jak
G3
El hombre. I realize these are not as good though because G3 does not make twin tips which is what i would like so i guess they are out of teh picture.
Ok, so I know nothing about powder skis, and anything yu guys know about the skis above whats good bad etc would be nice to know.
I am like 5"8 130 lbs
Thanks, max

Seths are nice, and if you don't wan't/can't get those, you've also basically described yourself son 178 Scratch BC WRS. I live in CT and have a pair in 185 and I love em

If you are a strong skier you might wanna consider Bacons, they are also good on groomers and hold a super good edge. They also have a big sidecut and a short turning radius too. Super fun skis, kill the pow and are pretty damn good on groomers. I mounted mine -2 cm from true center and they absolutely rip. I'd recommend them.

dont listen to these white boys. you want ninthward firstbloods. wide enough for east coast, soooper light, very poppy at speed, fairly stiff, ski groomers very well too, lots of camber makes them stomp machines, you will never ever land backseat with the stiffness/camber combo. and they can be found cheaper than everything else

yea. but i mean im pretty much set for groomers with my scratch ghettos. so im not too concerned about how well they do out side of pow, but yea i mean obv thats definately good too have. But, also id love to try to stick to my hookups for cheaper prices.
right now im thinking bc wrs or seth.
