Ski advice

I'm 6 feet 135 lb

I want a all mountain/backcountry/freestyle ski that I can charge through crud with, carve through powder, drop some cliffs and not too heavy so I can hike around with them.  Pretty stiff but not insanely stiff. Needs to handle ok on groomers but mostly crud, powder and some moguls.

I've been looking at nordica superchargers and a couple others

advice?

I feel like I'm sacrificing performance when I get a jibby ski like that. I already have park skis.

is that not the case?

Try the Dynastar Big Trouble. its an awesome all around ski... rips the moguls, kicks ass in powder, plenty of pop for the park and not too heavy (but definitely not the lightest ski out there). I have had them for a few seasons and absolutely love them

yea the brigade is like the middle width (96), if you want something fatter you could try the rossi steeze, ive riden the steeze through every condish and it works great. its not quite as light as the brigade tho.

I have the 4frnt msp and i couldnt be happier with them for an all mountain ski, they rip in crud, pretty light, just wide enough to get some float in the powder, handle moguls alright and tear up groomers, u will not be disappointed with them.

And definitely get the weight up, im only 3 inches taller than u and i got 40 lbs on u and i consider myself to be damn fuckin skinny.
