Hey i skiied 40 day s at jay last year. I want an all mountain ski tht floats inthe pow. I was considering what the best optioins were.
Choices
1.Salomon rocker 2 108
2. Atomic Blog skis
3. Salomon Q-105 skis
4.Blizzard Bonifide
5.Rossignol Smash 7 skis

I ski mostly in the woods I was wondering which ski would float best in the pow and still get an edge on groomers. Thank you!!

I ski the 122 everywhere. And believe me they rip hardpack and bumps too.

Check out the stickied thread in GT on how to ask for ski advice.

But it seems like the ON3P Jeffrey would fit into the category of skis you listed off

The 4Frnt Cody or the Line Sir Francis Bacons would probably be your best choice, they float well and are really awesome all over the mountain (Pow, trees, hardpack, park, moguls, etc...)

The perfect ski for Jay Peak would be a 102-110mm waisted ski with a shorter turning radius so it will float in the pow, but not suck in the bumps, as well as being fun in the trees.

Here are some options, I don't know if you want twin rocker or not so I will separate the two categories.

Twin Rocker: Blizzard Peacemaker, Moment PB&J, Salomon Rocker2 108, Icelantic Nomad RKR, ON3P Kartel 106, K2 Shreditor 102

Directional: Line Sick Day 110, Atomic Automatic 102/109, Armada TST

Its a good ski, my cousin loves it, I just think there are far better made options. If I were you I would go either Blizzard Peacemaker or Armada TST.
