I'm going to ski in Japan for 7 weeks this season and need a bogger ski as my 178 bacons will be way too short. They are fine for conditions here in australia but i am looking for something longer stiffer and fatter. Im 6 foot 75 kilos and advanced skiier. Will obviously be skiing the trees of Japan. looking for something at least 120 underfoot with rocker and a bit of camber.

Im tossing up between the Opus, Pettitor, the rocker 2 and the double helix as i can get these at wholesale prices. How does the Petittor copare to the others in stiffness.

I would imagine it is the stiffest out of those.

I can vouch for the Opus being an EXTREMELY fun ski in the trees. It doesnt charge like the pettitor may, but it can butter the shit out of everything.

I could be wrong, but isnt the Double Helix pretty stout?

Yeah i skiied the 182 Double Hselix's the other day back at recommended and i was just wondering whether the flex of the petittors is comparable to the relative stiffness of the Doube Helix.
