What Would Suit Best??

Okay. This is for a ski to be used only for big mountain and hard out speed, no park, no pipe. I want a ski that will cruise the entire mountain, kill chutes and steeps, handle intense speed, GS turns and quick sharp carves. Nothing soft like the crossmax either, any ideas what would suit?? And preferably not a Salomon coz I hate them. Oh and it will be mainly used on soft or hardpack snow, not often on powder so a powder or fat ski would not be good. Thanks dudes.

yeah the stormrider is good, other skis i rode that fit that description:
Rossi Bandit XX
Atomic 10.ex

but both require a little bit of effort on the groomers

Bandits, bandits, bandits. I have a pair of those and some enemy's, and the bandits kill everything. Get the XXX kind, because they are a lot fatter and handle the chutes better.

only problem with the bandits is that they break very easily, but rossignol is relatively good about warranties. i think the xxx is probably going to be fatter than your looking for as well. other than the break problems and a little too much sidecut the bandits kick ass though. i still say get the stormriders.

they don't make 4x4's no more, they are called intuitivs and are sicker than ever, i would suggest like the intuitv 74's they are probably the best all around.

if you go with intuitivs your best bet for everything would be the 74's, they are a sick all around ski, you would be surprised at how well they handle the whole mtn in all conditions
