Replying to I am out-skiing my EP Opus...need charger ski!
After screaming down the chutes and dropping 20+ footers all day at Kicking Horse today in variable powder, crud, and death cookie faces, I've come to the definite conclusion that the Opus is too soft, surfy, and turn-happy for my liking. I do not ski like Pollard anymore. I'm only 155lbs at 6'4 but I need a ski that can kick my ass a little - one that I can grow and progress into. I'm done with soft skis, I need something that can truck, and something long. I intend to move to KH next year so I'm looking at the 193 4frnt Renegades, 186 4frnt EHP's, 193 ON3P Cease & Desist, and possibly 191 Caylors (too soft maybe?). Riding and landing switch in pow is a fantasy that I've fulfilled here and there, but is more or less impractical, so I don't want so much tail rocker anymore. Which big mountain ski should I get? Please give me some reviews. Thanks!
