Alright, so I am going out west a number of times this season and I need a pair of skis that rip through powder. Currently, I have no use for Big Mountain skis, but I'm going to buy a pair for these trips and because I'm moving there in a little over a year. I need suggestions for a pair that doesn't sink, good for butters, and throwing tricks. Any suggestions would help thanks.

Where are you skiing?
Are these only for powder? Or are you also skiing all mtn, park, groomers, etc.?
Do you like skis softer or stiffer?
Height?
Weight?

Kartel 106, because not every day is going to be knee deep.

No offense, man, but just do a little research instead of making a thread. There have been literally 4 or 5 threads made on this exact same topic, finding a playful pow ski, in the last couple days. I think there are even one or two on the front page of gear talk right now. I don't mind giving suggestions and helping people out, but at least put some effort in trying to figure it out for yourself before just making a thread and having other people do the work for you.

Once you do some research and have narrowed it down to a few different skis that seem especially interesting to you, then make a thread asking for people's opinions on specific skis and their experience with them. Just saying "Hi, I need a playful pow ski. Thanks, bye" is a waste of people's time when there are so many resources out there for you to start figuring it out for yourself.
