i have a question to you all out there.
i currently own the K2 hellbent in 189 and TJ pro in 183.

having saved a little cash, i wanted to upstock my quiver by two more pairs of skis.
im 6 foot tall and weigh 155.

what do you think would be a wise choice for two skis that would complete my quiver?

i thought of the Atomic blog or patent in 185,
and ive thought of the armada JJ and alpha 2 in 182.

which of those skis, do you think i should get, or are there any other options?
ive been eying moment skis and surface, to support the smaller companies, or ON3P.

and if there is a jumbo JJ should i then get the JJ in that length (195) or should i go for the 185 JJ?

looking forward to suggestions.


have a nice late season, heard its dumping over there!

cheers

Salomon Shoguns for sure, and then maybe Surface Watch Lifes? I would only get one pair, the Shoguns. Then you would have a sweet every day ski that handles smaller amounts of pow super well. Plus theyre fairly stiff for a bigger guy. (theyre awesome by the way), a deep pow stick, and a park ski. You might also look into Gotamas. But something taller, stiffer, mid fat, and with rocker/early rise is perfect. Shoguns, Gotamas, Watchlifes, ON3P Wrenagades, ON3P Jeronimos.

i think im going for the jeronimo.
wish they had it in a 185-190 though, but i guess 181 is fine too.

yes. if theres no pow i ride park. but i also enjoy just to cruise over the groomers and jib over things that are lying around, or hit a pow run in between park runs.
so since i got a park ski and a pow ski i need something for the days where there is less pow, but that still does well in the park. it should be on the softer side too.
