I am looking to buy a pair of powder/touring skis. I have thought about putting barons on JJs or bent chetlers. Of course if you had any recommendations that didnt put me spending 4 digits that would be great

JJs, ARGs, Bentchetlers, Blogs, One Lifes, New Lifes, Hellbents, Obsethed, Kuros, ect. But we need height, weight, skiing ability, where you ski, how you like to ski, ect. JJs and One Lifes are great pow sticks who are also sick all over the mountain.

Jj's are awesome everywhere, good in all snow conditions, also super light

You should check out the Moment Bibby's.  They are camber underfoot this year and rocker tip and tail just like the jj's.  They are super light which is a huge benefit.  Sick ski

That's ridiculous if you expect to me 6' come ski season.  Maybe 5'10" but I doubt that too.  4 inches is too much.  How old are you?
