I'm lookin for some pow skis that i would ride wen we get snow in PA. No super deep powder and just something to mess around thats fat but i can still take on groomers with reverse camber and rocker. Im 5'11 155 and an aggresive skier. thanks.

Blends are pretty soft.

I had narrowed my choices for an EC powder ski down to the Blend and the Icleantic Nomad. Hear nothing but good things about Icelantic. Just need some damn money!

the new bridge is a really solid way to go.
plus you can use it in the park.
as fellow east coaster, who also own many powder boards, for trips. it is my "good day" east coaster.

sounds like the Kung Fujas would be right up your alley

i think the bent chetler might be a little bigger than you're ever going to need in PA... If you want some Kung Fujas i've got a pair in 189 for sale brand new, unmounted.... I think it would be a way better choice for you in PA.

If the Bentchetler is too much (which is probably is for your area) check out the Atomic Access: early rise tip (quite a bit actually), normal camber/profile underfoot and in the tail, 100mm waist, stepdown sidewall, full wood core, and only $499. Definitely a sick ski.

just get a rockered park ski, its not like your actually gonna ski lines with them, just fresh, mellow, groomers. then you can still ski them when PA skiing turns back into PA skiing.

there is no sense in getting something meant for pow, when you have a mountain that 1) pretty much never gets it, and 2) is too flat to really ski it. if you go out west every year, maybe think about picking up a used pair of pow sticks, but just for skiing in PA...lol

pick up alpha 2's, or reno rockers, or on3p jeronimos
