I just moved to Utah so I'm in need of a powder ski. I've been looking through a lot of threads and narrowed it down to these with price also in consideration. I'm 5'9'' 145lb used to skiing Mammoth. I'll mainly be using them for powder but I do want to be able to take them out on groomers for days I'm not skiing park or powder. I like riding switch so I like that YLE have more of a symmetric shape, but the everyone who has rode the Chetlers seems to love them and atomic makes great quality skis. I've been considering the Opus too but I'm leaning towards the other two because I can get them a year used for $400 or less with bindings. I'd love some input, Thanks!

First off, congratulations on moving to Utah. where'd you go?

179 YLE is a jambox ski. especially for Utah mountains, which those skis are built to shred. big buttery but still torsionally stiff. plenty of rocker too so they float is stellar.

4FRNT skis are really well made too. they have a standard 1-year warranty, which last year when I had to use it was super easy and quick. great customer service too, which I appreciate.

also, search bar is great.
