Replying to Hey NS, help me pick a big mountain ski!
Me: 5ft10in, 165lbs
What I want: A big mountain ski that charges steep open terrain, but is still skiable/fun in the trees. For skiing fast and hitting natural airs inbounds, and also to use as a slackcountry touring ski.
This ski is to replace my 185 Armada JJs and will be mounted with Salomon Guardians. I love my JJs at medium speed, in soft snow, and in the trees, but I don't find them stable enough at high speed or in variable snow conditions. I also feel they have a little too much tail rocker since I don't really ski switch in the pow much and would rather have a super stable landing platform for big airs going forwards.
Thanks!
