I'm a 15, 5'7, and 115-120 lbs. Looking for an all mountain/poweder ski. Mainly ski trees, pow, and back country. I would consider my self an expert. I don't have a ton of money but I got some saved up about 450$$$$

As a new user can I ask what would be best for you to help you get new ideas for skis? Have you looked at the current review section here? Woul you like written reviews on this site or would you like group tests of similar skis or somthin else?

In terms of skis that will work for you it's really hard to give good advice on so little info. Where do you ski? What skis have you ridden in the past that you enjoyed? We need a bit more info to be able to help but this brings me back to my first point. What would be the best way for you to find a ski?

Yeah sorry for being so blunt I was extremely lazy. My old skis are volkl gotamas I loved these when I was on them, but they are to small for me now and I want to try something new. I ski pretty much every resort in the tahoe area, but mainly Kirkwood, Heavenly, and Squaw. I have checked the review section, but I haven't used it a lot. In terms of help I would just like to see maybe 5 different pairs that could work and then I could form opinions and check out other skis on my own. Again sorry for being so blunt.

Don't worry at all man. The reason I asked is we are working on updating the review system so I was wondering what you would like as you seemed to be a new user.

If you enjoyed the gotama you could look at the volkl one. It's a bit wider but will be a little more playful then the gotama. The salomon rocker 108 may be worth a look too and if you don't want a twin rockered ski the atomic automatic 109 and line sick day 110 could be good options too. Maybe the Rossi soul 7 too an the whitedot preacher. Ther are a tonn of great skis in that category now so you won't be short on options. Oh and tst too
