Hi,

as I'm choosing powder skis for next season, I would like to ask your opinion and arguments why so.

So I'm choosing from Line powder skis (dealer prices, so no other can offer as good).

1. Mr.Pollard Opus
144-118-141
2. BIGMT
145-115-131
3. Sick Day 125
150-125-137

it would be either 195, either 192cm. Need floatiest skis, with no backcountry freestyle intent, no intent for piste use, no intent for park use, I neither ride big mountain. I already haz afterbangz and LIB NAS planks. These aint good enough for my 95kgs, so now choosing the right thing for those powder days.

As I like fancy things, OPUSES look ugly, but they are flagship powder skis of line. SFB are not in the list due to 108 underfoot. What should I go for?

Karma and beer on me.

Well, Opus is designed for powder freestyle, Influence BGMT is designed for big mountain, and you say you don't want to do either of those, so I'd say Sick Day. Pros: you want floaty, it's the widest. Con: not a true twin (I know a lot of ppl here use true twin and symmetrical interchangeably, but the traditional use of true twin is that tips and tails are same height. This ski has lower tails, but you don't want to do freestyle anyway), brand new ski so you won't be able to see many reviews before buying
