I'm new to the whole Newschoolers thing but was recommended by a friend so I thought I'd check it out.
I'm from Australia about 2000 kilometres from any snow, but at the end of the year I am shipping out to Whistler and doing a season there (working at the Salomon store in the Pan Pacific, name is Angus, say hi!). At the moment I go to NZ every year and have skiied Japan twice and Colorado once, so I'm fairly experianced (well as experianced as someone who gets 1 or 2 weeks in every year can be). At the moment I have a set of 2011 K2 Revivals that I bought a few months ago and skiied 2 weeks in NZ this year on, they were perfect for the warm, early season conditions, great on groomers and great off pieste too. Now I'm thinking I will take the K2s over to Whistler with me and learn how to ski a bit of park (little park experiance) and maybe hit up some groomers and days when I just wanna ski around jibbing and having some fun. But I also am in the market for another ski, more big mountain, powder ski. I like going fast and skiing steep stuff but I dont have a heap of freestyle experiance (definitely something I want to develop though). I want a ski that will rip up in powder, but not one that I will only get to ski a handful of days when its super deep and will still handle crud, chopped up stuff, windblown and a bit of moguls. At the moment I was thinking along the lines of a K2 Obsethed, Armada JJ or Salomon Rocker 2 (should be able to get this cheaper through work, but thoughts on Salomon?), but lacking the ski culture/knowledge that comes with living in winter climates I am a little lost at the moment. I'm 180cms (5'11") and 185 pounds (not sure on ski length) and also need a boot reccommendation (for use with my Revivals as well)
