soo right now on the east i ride anthems everyday. im looking to start building a quiver and maybe add a powder/all mountain ski. im thinking the armada jj's or would that be too much the the east? these would also be used for trips out west.

add the on3p jeronimo and moment tahoe to that list too.

i think, for an east coast POW ski, get something mid fat with rocker. like 95mm+ underfoot, something like the obseths would be good. i dont think you need anything huge under foot. we dont have the endless fluffy pow that the west gets

i ride the tahoes. they work well on the hard pack and in some pow, but in a decent amount of powder they just wanna nose dive. thats why i will end up getting the on3p jmos, the rocker will fix that

i have bacons and s4s i think its about as good of a qiver as is needed. im sure every once and awhile id want something big and rockered.. 90% of the time the bacon is more than enough, and its good on goomers and regular trails.  didnt get a chance to ski jumps or spring crud though

I like the Atomic access for next year. 100mm underfoot, with rocker in the tip, and isn't stupid expensive.
