ID say pistols are better for super deep pow. But pockettrockets do well in crud and groomers and also the pow. Different skis are better for different people just demo a couple of the top ones.

I've got a sleeper for you to try if you ever get the chance. The blizzard titan 8.2. It's changing to the Titan XL next year I think. It's a lot more solid than the pocket roket on groomers, crud and big mountain.

I would suggest the Volkl Gotamas, K2 Seth Pistols, or the Line Motherships.

Bandit B3, Faction Thirteen, DB Surreal or Tabla Rasa if you need a bigger one.

If you are looking for a true big mountain ski dont go with the Gotama becuase the Explosiv and the Sanouk are Volkls true big mountain skis. The Sanouk is a huge swallow tail for people like aaron mcgovern. I think Pocket Rockets are also softer than a typical Big Mountain ski. Maybe the biggest Head Monster would be a good one. In terms of K2 the Kahuna is their true big mountain ski rather than the pistol.

Head Mad trix are about a 30:70 Park to MTN ratio. They are great in pow and hold up on groomers. They perform good through moguls, and are ok in the park. They are pretty stiff so they hold up on rails. The only prob is getting a good pop, but if u want a basically big mtn ski then its all good.

anyone ever try the swallow tails from salomon, a lot of their big mt skiers were using them, they looked really sick and rock solid, also whoever said igneous was dead on

There is only one name in the Big Mountain ski arena... VOLKL EXPLOSIV.

but völkl explosives arent in their 05-series.
Their is the sanouk, for extreme special big mountain riders. And the Gotama, the big mountain ski with backcountry-ability. The next from Völkl is the Karma, they are made for backcountry and a little park and all-mountain. The last of the serie is the expression, i think its only a park ski. Get the gotamas or the karmas.

^ What are you talking about? Just go look at the new Volkl website that's been updated for 04-05. The Explosiv is right there. Same topsheet and non-twin tip as last year.

The Karma is supposed to replace the V-Pro I believe, and its beefed up with a wider waist and all that skiing goodness.
