alright well right now my quiver looks like  06-07 Scratches 07-08 Dumonts 05-06 scratch sprayer fs and a pair of 07-08 seths.  im looking for two more skis to complete it.  i am 6 foot and weigh 145lbs i am very agressive and push everything 

first im looking to get a good pair of mogul skis not very picky on the brand idk how many people on here will have any advise on these but thought id try.

second im looking for a true powder ski at least 115mm underfoot i was looking at the bbacons ep pros and the hellbents these im looking to get next summer but need advise on what would be best to look at.  im going to be doing inbounds pillowlines and bowls as well as backcountry throughout burthod pass

any suggestions will be appreciated.

My first suggestion would be to start eating. Other than that though, theres a ton of skis that would work for you, hellbents, ep pros, moment bibbys, armada jp juliens, rossignol s7, 4frnt ehp, the list goes on, even further if you dont plan on riding switch. Just read some reviews and figure out what kind of flex and such you are interested in, what kind of sidecut you want, and go from there. This forum is going to tell you %*zomgz!!! go but jjs and bibbys theyre sick omg best ski ever!!! even though none of them have actually skied either of them. they're kind of the flavor of the week if you want to put it that way. Basically read reviews, I highly recommend rocker, it makes a huge difference and if you want to ski pow like you ski normally get a more traditional sidecut, if you like slashing, smearing, etc get a shallow or reverse sidecut. pretty much, happy shopping.
