I am looking at big mountain skis this year and I can get a good deal on Rossignol. I was just wondering what would be better just for backcountry. I am a strong skier, but I only weigh 135. The B3's might be to stiff but I am not sure... any suggestions?

Yes, this year's B3 is softer than its predecessor, the XXX. ~180 cm sounds about right since I doubt you'll stay 135 lbs at your height (teenager right?). The B3 is heavier than the BC, but since it sounds like you're not using it as a trick ski, it would be the better choice.

Yeah I think I will go for the B3's. I aint using it a trick ski at all because I dont wana ride park much at all this year. Yes I am a teenager (16). Thanks for the input.
