Hey all, i've been looking around for awhile but i could not find too many similar threads to this one. I currently have on3p Filthy riches mounted at center with axial2's. This year, i have been riding alot more at whistler than i used to, and i think it's time for me to get some powder skis. I was wondering whether i should get all mountain/pow skis such as the Sir Francis Bacons, or get full on powder skis like S7's or Magic J's. I'm gonna be riding mostly at whistler venturing into garabaldi sidecountry off 7th heaven, and catskiing at powder mountain. Which skis should i get?

Most people hate Salomon because they bought suspects which is the shittiest ski you can get.

Salomon Rocker 2 122 underfoot is awesome.

If you already have a park ski you should get a full blown pow ski. I just picked up a pair of surface one life's for cheap and I bet surface is going to have more good sales.

get wide-all-mountain skis if you plan on going into the BC on days that aren't just powder. get full blown powder skis if you only plan on doing BC if there is pow.

I find these really helpful:

How about a surface "go fuck yourself in your next life" in 189, or maybe line "this isn't gear talk you fucking twat" in 185?

If you're coming from a park background, you might appreciate a bi-directional pow than a traditional charger. I'd take a look at the ON3P Caylor if I were you, take a look at my review of them here -http://aslansskiblog.blogspot.co.uk/#!/2013/03/on3p-caylor-ski-review.html

My Bent Chetler's get more and more awesome each time I get out on them. That said I'm sure that a directionally focused powder ski would be even better.
