Replying to Need wide ski
I need a new wide ski.
Vitals:
6'2
160 pounds
Ski interior BC, Whitewater.
Very expierienced skier, raced for several years.
Have skied and liked Gotama 190, Nordica Blower 185, Hellbent 179.
The skiing I will be doing with these will be deep powder, pillow lines, mini golf-ish lines, and dropping cliffs. So I'm lookign for something that:
Isn't too stiff
Is playful
Turns on a dime
Is rocker, obviously.
Still capaable to charge through some crud.
Stomp shit switch.
Will be able to rate 5's or 7's on.
Now with tat All out of the way, here's teh skis I'm currently looking at:
Moment Donner Party - Rocker, reverse sidecut, sounds like a super fun ski, plus I'd love to support Moment.
Armada ARG - Only heard great thinsg about it, reverse sidecut again.
K2 Hellbent 189 - When I tried the 179 it was super fun, but when i tried anything other than dropping cliffs or slashing powder they felt awkward. I'm thinking the 189 would be more suited to someone my size?
Whatever I end up getting they will be mounted with Fischer X17 bindings.
Thanks for teh help guys, and let me knwo what you think'll suit me best, or suggest another ski!
