unless ALL you do is backcountry and you never see less than at least 3-4 feet of fresh, why bother with such an unversatile ski? the guy i work with has a rossi bandit b2. 80mm waist, with a good powder flex. he can tear up the ice or the waist deep. In more than waist deep he'd want a fatter ski, but seriously, that 80mm waist takes him everywhere and anywhere... except the park, but hey, neither would a swallow tail. swallow tails are allergic to rails.

Get something like a Seth Pistol or Scratch BC. unless all you ever see if waist deep and more.

I think they're great for blasting through nasty squaw spring conditions anyway though, like crud and stuff.
Yep.

If you can land switch on a swallowtail, I'll give you a cookie.

^^The ski for blasting through Squaw-frozen-avalanche-crap-death cookie show is the Volkl explosiv. They were made for that mountain. Just look at JT Holmes and most of the other locs killing nose-to-fingers every powder morning. You need something really stiff and stable, the explosiv fits that mold.

Geoff: No, I just put my boxers on backwards so the hole is in the back...it's alot easier that way.

I have a pair of igneous fgs 185 that have a 250 stiffness. i only take them out when there is a ton of snow. they are really sick skis, but not very versatile. i use a 179 seth pistol most of the time, and those are a lot more managable. if you have other skis to use most days then get a pair of igneous to wreck with on deep days. they destroy whatever you want them to, and they are nearly indestructable. i love mine and will probably never get rid of them.

How is the weight issue? Are they unreasonably heavy?
