Hi all, been skiing on 179 hellbents all season at baker and absolutely loving them. However, im looking for a stiffer, poppy, playfull pow ski thats a little bit narrower and has some camber. I also ski poachers when there isnt much snow and kinda want a fatter version of that that is more poppy. Baker doesnt have much demo options and they are all too short. looking for something thats available in sizes 186-195 ( Im 6'1 ). I have skied a buddys revision subtractions in a 186 and want something like that. Been eyeing the arv 116s, Catamarans, and bibbys. Thanks!

Sego Sloppy Joe. Soft in the tips and tails, fairly beefy underfoot. 118 waist with a solid camber. Super light and playful skis and comes in a 189! let me know if you have any specific questions.

I have been riding the line Mordeci for the last couple of seasons and they have been super fun. 114 under foot with a good amount of tip and tail rocker. Plenty of float when it is deep but skinny enough for the resort once things get tracked out. Even on hard pack they can hold an edge. Super light and poppy. Very happy with them
