Playful powder ski.

Well I have been looking for a new ski for this whole summer now. I live in Las Vegas but, I already have a park ski and a crud ski so I am looking for a powder ski thats playful. I don't want a hellbent because yes I go to a lot of places but, the biggest dump we get here is probably 16inches once a year and i'm looking for some playful powder skis that can at least hit 40 foot cliffs with giving out when I land but, I want to be able to use them on backcountry kickers. I am 6'2 160 pounds. I was thinking either the JJ,bencheleter,Ep Pro, or the 4Frnt renegade or CRJ. What do you guys think?

consider on3p caylors for a ski similar to bents, but a good amount stiffer so they will handle cliffs/crud.groomers better. 191s would be a great ski for you. If you are really set on the skis you've listed, ive heard nothing but good things about CRJs, and JJs were a fun ski when I tried them(a bit hooky though)

All of the skis you mentioned would be good EXCEPT the 4frnt renegade. ON3P Caylor, Moment Night Train and Moment Bibby would be good choices as well.

Rossignol S7 is another great ski.

Check that out

The 4frnt renegade is definately not a soft playful ski like hellbents. If you intend to go fast and hit cliffs the renegades are for you.

Definitely look at the Moment Bibby's, especially since you live in Vegas

EP Pro is a noodle, I love mine but probably not great if you wanna go sending big cliffs.

moment night train and bibby are both great choices. im pretty sure the bibby is a bit stiffer than the night train also it depends on the size you get for the bibby i think the 186 has a bit of camber and the 192 doesnt
