Powder skis

I am looking for a dedicated powder ski that is as good at high speeds as it is in tight trees. I want something I can charge the fall line with but then take it to the trees and have it maneuverable. I am and an aggressive, advanced skier, who is 5'7" and 120 lbs

Looking at super 7, supernatural 115 and
K2 pettitor.
Any opinions on these skis or any other suggestions for me?

I know the Pettitors are slightly softer and little less soft than another ski that they have (forgot the name) but it might be Pinnacle or something. I would also recommend the Jefferey and the Moment Bibby. I have a pair of Moment Vice and they are sick

Just as s smaller skier I don't want to buy a ski that meant to be a chargy ski for bigger people, making it too chargy for me to ski in the woods

My friend works a ski shop and can get me deals on Line, Rossingol, Moment, Nordica, K2 and blizzard. Any suggestions within those brands other than bibbys?

Many make them. They are called "All Mountain Skis"!

Now that I gave you the secret, I hope to get your vote in the & 7 Mile Ski Contest here on NS. Voting opens on the 14th.

Be good now!

Rossignol Super 7 would probably be a solid choice. I've never skied them but my cousin has them and he loves them for everything powder and charging, and they hold up on hard pack super well from what he's said.

good god I cant believe people actually like the rossi super sevens, fuckin dad skis selling on strictly gimmicks. Thinnest base and edge I have ever seen, floppy tips when I rode them, steer way clear in my opinion of the rossi 7.

Did you ever try the Supernatural 115s. If so, what did you think of them?

My friend, do not buy pettitors. Buy the Catamarans, Chetlers, Bibbys, or the kartel 116. I speak from experience, I rode the pettitors for a whole season and they were too heavy to be functional in any way. I'm 6'1 185lbs and usually have problems with skis being too bitchy, but dude the 189's are just an absolute beast and I can't handle them. Just my input.
