I need some new powder sticks. I have been looking at the volkl choptsick, line EP Pro, Sir Francis Bacon, K2 Obsethed, and the 4frnt CRJ. I would use this ski not only on pow days but also skiing in crud and not the best of conditions. I would like a ski that is fairly soft and easy to jib in the pow. Which ski should i get?

You'd like one lifes, they're definitely not soft, but the rocker makes up for it for sure. The stiffness helps in crud and hardpack too.

how big are you? height n weight

what do you plan to do on them?
only ski pow? deep pow or variablesnow; pow, crud, heavy, icy, etc...

how do you ski?
do you ski fast, send big cliffs and ride gnarly lines?
or are you more of a guy who skis slower, likes to butter a bit, ride trees, fool around, etc...

i myself ride an EP pro and i love it, even on groomers and in the park, but for real freeriding, dropping cliffs, charging, etc...
i would actually like a ski thats a bit stiffer.... maybe the CRJ .....


and if i had to choose one ski to do it all, i'd go for the SFB, a fat noodle, but not too fat, still awesome on groomers and good in pow .....


are you limited in your choice by the skis you mentioned?
or are those just skis you thought of ?
