Replying to Ski recommendations for a season in Japan
I'm planning on spending next season in Japan, and I'm trying to figure out what skis I should get now so that I can take advantage of some end of season deals.
About me: 5'11" 175 lbs, I usually ski fairly fast aggressively but I love to pop off everything I can and throw the occasional 1 or 3.
What I'm looking for: Obviously something that will be good in deep pow with lots of float for the lower angle Japanese terrain. I'd like a ski that's a bit more surfy and easier to break loose so that I can navigate tight trees, but I don't want something that's super soft and will fold up in tracked out pow. I'm planning on putting Shifts on whatever ski I bring for sidecountry laps and smaller tours.
Thanks for the help NS
