So around the end of the year skis start to go on sale and I was hoping to pick up a pair of pow skis.
I'm on the east so I don't have really deep days so its mostly just sidecounty stuff. I want I ski I can play around with too, so around the 115 range. I was looking into the JJ because it looks like what i want or the Moment jaguar shark.
I'm 5'10 and around 140. Any suggestions NS?

Bluehouse Maestros are really cheap, and like 118 underfoot. I love mine--super buttery, good flotation, and you can still shred on groomers.

ON3P Jeffreys they are an awesome ski and will probably go on sale soon. Last year they were 108 underfoot this year they are smaller I think. I have a review on my page but I think they would be good for you since you are smaller to the fit so they would float better.

Didn't read all of your post... Probably not the best choice for the east. But you could always move?

I am on the east and have some nordica helldorados. They are like a slightly more big mountain/ everyday ski than the Nj/Ak Nj. They'll float similar but will be better at speed
