Replying to Looking for redo my quiver with some bigger skis, specifically stiff, stable skis for a 6'5" 220lb man
My skiing has gotten a lot better in the last 2 years and I'm starting to rethink my current quiver. I'm becoming much more interested in a stable ski that I can use on the steeps and small cliffs, but hopefully something that I can also maneuver through the narrow chutes. Most importantly, I'm 6'5" and 220lbs so I need a ski that is tall enough and stiff enough for me.
My current setup is 2015 ON3P Billy Goat (186cm) for a Pow ski, 2017 Elan Ripstick 96 (186cm) as a "all-mountain" ski (a ski that can handle the same steeps and chutes when I miss the storms by 1-2 weeks) and Fischer Guru (178cm) for a park ski.
The Fischers are probably getting replaced sometime soon with the Kartel 108 in 191cm but I still need a longer, stiffer powder and hard-snow ski. I really like how both of my current skis ride so something similar would be appreciated (currently thinking about getting the ripsticks 96 or 106, but this time in 194cm)
