Growing up on the east coast, I have never really had a need to get some true powder skis, considering the rarity of true usage. I now go to school in Denver though, so the thought about finally splurging on a pair of pow skis has really crossed my mind.
At first I was looking at some SFB's, but i kinda feel that they are till a bit to "all-mountain" orientated, and might not be worth a whole new pair of skis (I'll have my K2 Extremes out there too)
In the spirit of living in Denver, Icelantic has become a brand of much interest, and in particular the Gypsy. Can you guys enlighten me on how the Gypsy would work for out west? Ive only skied out west for a holidays in the past (1-2 weeks at a time), so i'm not completely familiar with how the conditions are on a regular basis. Would the Gypsy be a ski that would get a lot of use in the normal colorado conditions?
Feel free to let me know of any other skis that would possibly be a better alternative too.I'm all ears.
Thanks, homies
