ok NS I am here in whistler and I don't have time to demo any skis but I need to buy a new pow ski while I am here. I ski deep pow and hick cliffs ski steeps aswell so I need a solid but super fun pow ski. I am about 75kg and I am 183cm tall. I was wanting to get 192 bentchetlers but can't find them. I want this ski to be amazing in pow and it doesn't matter how it performs on hard packed. Also want it to be chargeable.
Id say the options are line ep pros, hellbents, chopsticks, chetlers, those new Salomon ones like jj's, someting moment?
I used to have jj's but they got too small. But I did enjoy them.
Help me out. Thanks

I don't think u can go for wrong with hellbents, if you are only really going to be in deep pow then they would be the easiest choice for me anyway

Arnt the hellbents fairly heavy so they would be bad for booters and the ep pros he'll solfataras so bad for charging?

If hard pack performance is irrelevant, then it would be an Armada ARG or Monent Donner Party.

If you don't care about hardpack performance, get the 185 Armada ARG. That ski is absolutely insane. I've ridden it before and it made me feel like superman.

i've only flexed the hellbents but from what i felt they were some of the softest skis ive ever felt, maybe not a steep charging ski, and i have bacons (not as soft as you may be led to believe) and invaders, i love my bacons (at recommended) though, especially in the trees

What about the Josh Bibby Pro's in 190? The flex is on the stiff side from what I felt at the shop, noticeably stiffer than the 184. I imagine it'd be amazing for charging? But really, it's a little arbitrary when comparing the right models.
