for what purpose? everyday? if so, the ep will suck. kung fujas is the best ski for the combination of ec trees/"pow" and park. the seth would work as well, but might not be as enjoyable for park if you don't like fat skis in the park(i personally love them).

the reno is a dece park ski, but it sucks for regular skiing. the rocker is barely noticeable, and the ski HATES to turn.


and gypsyslayer, your just jealous because i'm so trendy that i made front page.

a buddy of mine i ski with all the time rides Line Elizabeths all winter here in NH, something like a 110 underfoot or something like that, i think if you can whip em around fuck it you can still buy a fairly fat ski for the east, personally i wouldnt get anything more then a 100 underfoot for the east, unless you ski at like Jay and get solid pow days then do whatever i ride the line chronics and im gettin something a bit more plump for next year haha

bentchetlers riiiippppp chowdah, and they really hold their own on groomers because they are cambered underfoot.  even in the park the rocker isnt crippling like it is in many other rockered skis.  id seriously consider getting a pair.

plus they look dope as hell.

2010 kung fujas.  end of thread.  of all the rockered skis ive tried (ep pros, jjs, czars, shoguns, bentchetlers, seths, s4's, s7's, reno rockers, alpha1s), these are the best for the east.  you'll never know they're a rockered ski until you get into powder or butter them.  especially with the schizofrantic binding system they'll be the only ski you'll ever need, anywhere, anytime.  check my full review:

It works as a complimenting ski in a quiver but it sucks to ski everyday on every terrain.

and if you think the bentchetlers are a little too wide you could get the atomic blog which is like the bentchetlers lil brother, 110 underfoot instead of 123 and its still rockered just a lil less. its an extremely sick ski.

blogs! 

such a fun ski, they shred powder but arent as geared toward it directly as bentchetlers.  10mm rocker tip and tail as opposed to 20mm on the 'chetlers, and do not taper quite as early.  people were loving them up at the stratton on show test, theyre right up your alley for sure.  id definitely check them out.

If you just want 1 ski then the rossi S3 for next year.  There are a couple threads on it and it sounds like a sick ski.  But if you want a pow ski, check out the Blog, Obsethed, Bacons, etc anyhting around 110 waist.
