Do you like really soft skis, or soft/medium skis? Hight, weight, ability? What height of cliffs will you be dropping?

why are bibbys, donner partys, and praxis better caus no one rides them. its rediculous,  if yuo want a rockered  ski its fairly simple.  decide how you like to ski, and look for the ski whos charecteristics match your steez.  its that easy.  also you could try a couple of em

That is a retarded comment. Depends on who you are, how you like to ski, and what you'll be skiing.

i would tend to agree.  quality wise you simply can't beat a sick handmade ski  company (i can speak for praxis as the most badass ski durability and construction wise i've encountered).  if you want a slarvy, surfy, charging ski, get the praxis pows.  i don't think i will ever own a better ski.

buuuuuuut, i fucking searched through all of the rockered skis, and the bents/eps are perfect for what they're designed for, and have the MOST rocker (more butterability, playful).  the bibbys are designed with less rocker to be more versitile.  i know tons of kids on NS are just going to get bents/eps cause they see them in idea, but they really are the best tools for pow jibbing/buttering.  not for charging, but for getting all ideaed out and trying new things...perfect
