it wouldn't even be worth it to go if you bring ar7's

also, I've heard that rental is more expensive so maybe buying used pow skis is the solution

You'd probably have a better time on powder skis. Here's a couple of ski hire sites to give you an idea of prices and what's available.

You will make the worlds best trip into the worst trip if you're skiing pow. Definitely rent something 110+ underfoot, preferably like 120 or so if you're shredding that deep stuff.
