I already have a my beloved Liberty Double Helix (122 underfoot) as my fat pow ski that can rip lines and and stomp anything. Its a stiff ski with a little rocker in the tip. I love it, its like a Cadillac on skis.

But now im looking for a more fun pow ski, more flexy and hopefully moreless symmetrical cut and flex and to mount dead center. Think of it as a pow ski to ride switch on deep days, where i can throw 180s of some bigger cliffs, butter 3s on pow and of cliffs.

I was looking at something like the Hellbents or last seasons Pettitors, I also looked at the Surface One Lifes and the Line Mr Pollards Opus.

Any recommendations for the skis I need? others to look at?

thanks

Armada magic j, can charge hard, the best float I've ever had and are so light with such a low swing weight. Plus the tips and tails are pure butterlicious can butter like a champ

If you can find some of last years Moment Ghost chants, or look at this years ghosttrains they look killer.

Was gonna say this..

Logam Imlach had some for sale too..

But do you want a more narrow ski or is wide ok? And what about stiffness?

Last years Ghost Chants are softer than this years Ghost Train..

I guess I would recommend the ON3P Caylors, ON3P PillowFight, or the Atomic Bentchetler.

I know Moment makes some good ones too, but I don't know much about them.

Can't go wrong with the opus or the pettitor, I've skied both and the opus is definitely softer. Also check out the bent chetler, similar to the pettitor

The new rossignol super 7 and Squad 7 seem right for you thry have a honey comeb tip and tail and are great in the pow. They also look dope with the clear tips. I would either go with theese or last years salmon rocker 2 122 or the 115. Theese are pow skis with low swing weights.

Op go opus or petittors. Both have amazing float, great for going switch and you will not kill yourself on the way back to the lift
