Well I have two good options for you, the first is the D-Sender and the A-lotta from Fatypus skis, ive heard nothing but great things about these skis and fatypus have a good rep for holding up after a long time. Basically if you want a charger pow ski for sending cliffs and such, the D-sender is probably your best bet. Read more here: http://fatypus.com/home/d-sender.php

If you want a pow ski that will prevent you from sinking becuase its so deep you need a snorkle, the A-lotta is a BEAST. As you have probably read in many buyers guides, these things are monsterous. These are more for your just shredding super deep blower and just want to cruise. Check out some testimontials on thier site here: http://fatypus.com/home/d-sender.php

Those are just two suggestions, and you would be supporting an independent company too!

Yay for pow!
