Replying to Looking for a pair of pow pow skis.
NS, I am sitting in the Hostel at Jackson Hole pondering about why I don't have any fatties for this storm coming tomorrow. I am currently riding a pair of beat up Volkl Bridges from about 4 years ago and want something a bit more substantial. (I also chunked the fuck out of them falling off the cliffs on Puckerface.) I am 5 foot 11 inches, weigh about 180 lbs, and consider myself to be a 4 on the skier scale...or whatever the highest number is. I want a pair of skis that can hold up in the powder, rip through trees, and generally just kill the entire mountain. I don't really want twin tips, growing out of that crap. Any ideas, people? Another important thing...these have to be able to hold up to the shittiest conditions on the east coast. I'm from Massachusetts and ski in VT and NH, not exactly Jackson. I liked the look of the Hugo Harisson Pro Model from Kastle, but those are way too expensive for me. Watea 114's are sick too, but I'm afraid they would suck at home. I'm looking at around the 5-700 buck range. What are my options?
