Want something that is pretty playful that I can just hit off groomers and side hits on days with the fam or wifey. I’m liking the Vokl revolts 104 in 188 cause I need something tall.

I am 6’4 200, Rocky Mountain skiing

revolts gonna top pick in all mountain section this year so they definitely would be a great choice, I would check out the sakanas if you're doing just grromers, super fun to dig trenches. Blends would be super flexy and fun as well!

Yeah I was looking at those too. I’m pretty torn between the vokl revolt and reckoner. I’m leaning toward the revolt for the 188 length

Get something weird and fun. Sakana or Blade would carve the shit out of groomers but are still versatile for side hits.

I use my backcountry set up for this (vision 108 + shift + light touring boot). Mostly so I don’t have to buy another ski but also because it keeps me from frothing at the mouth to do shit besides ski groomers and side hits. Then I’ll actually have fun taking it easy instead of wishing I was raging.

I’m nervous about the SFB, I’ve heard it can be pretty soft, and don’t want a noodle especially at my weight. Does it hold up well? I’m a little over 200

Also sick van my guy

Buy a race ski. I bought slalom skis and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. No side hits but that's the price you pay for infinite grip.
