Replying to Help me choose a new ski for my changing style
I've been skiing the 108 waist Bacons in 184cm for years now, but my style has changed as I've gotten older and I moved to the West Coast.
I don't hit the park now, I rarely ski switch now, and I seek out pow, trees, and ungroomed terrain a lot more.
Lately I feel like I'm dragging the big tail of the Bacons around and getting it hooked up in crud, also I feel like I'm overpowering the tips sometimes in soft snow (like I have to concentrate to keep my stance centered and not drive them too hard). Bacons are still fun, but I feel like I'm fighting them instead of working together.
My home mountain is Mammoth now and here's what I want to do:
I want to cruise down the open bowls from the peak to the tree line, then tight trees through the middle of the mountain, then straightline the last piece of groomer back to the lift.
If it helps I'm 5'10, 170#
Skis I've been considering:
Line Supernatural 108
Line Sick Day
ON3P Kartel 108
J Skis Metal
Moment Belafonte
4FRNT Devastator
Can someone with experience help me figure out which is best for me?
