some im gonna pick myself up a pair of new skis for next season. ive got anthems for park and all mountain jibbing but i want a pow ski that can also rip everywhere.  they will see some park also. i was thinking about eps but after searching it seems that being 6'3 200 pounds im WAY to big for them. i like the early rise idea and stuff and would like something over 115mm waist. and DONT say hellbents because i do not want them.

any suggestions would be apprieciated

and price isnt an issue

Then don't fucking post in the thread^

If you want a really wide ski, you could try prophet 130's. Bacons are probably a little soft for you. If you don't care about having twin tips how about the salomon rockers or gun labs?

hellbents............


nz jj, id say 09 jp vs juiliens. they look really sick and with early rise instead of reverse camber they will still rip groomers.

eps r softer, if u want a SUPER soft ski thatll increase in softness since ur a bit bigger and the bents r stiffer so they wont be so extremely soft...
