Replying to Brawny charger to round out quiver

NotEnoughSkiing:
I think I'm looking for a Blizzard Bodacious, but I'm not entirely sure if there's even brawnier options exist, maybe a Head Kore 117? And I have no clue what year, seems like there's no good documentation of what's what out there. It's hard to get my hands on something like Line, Armada, J Skis, etc, there's just no demos out there

Here's the current quiver:

Big & Powder
Blizzard Spur 192 Assym - So much fun but just can't charge big lines if they are cut up badly or cruded up
Blizzard Cochise 185 the old stiff ones - They charge but ski short and get overwhelmed by bigger lines

Park & Moguls
Atomic Snoop 18X?
Atomic Tweak 172

Race
Atomic GS11 Beta4
Atomic DH (215's) - yea they don't come out much, a run or two on desolate mornings


Recently Skied
Atomic Bent Chetler 120 - 192 - Fun, like the Spurs but likes shorter turns, not brawny though
Voelkl Katana 108 - 192 - Pretty good, but really seems to be a slightly more powder oriented Cochise, length was nice. Not brawny enough.
Voelkl Mantra M5 192 - Meh, the do everything just not well enough option
Stoekli Stormriders 95 - Frontside, bit disappointed I hadn't skied a Stormrider series for 10 years when they made a pretty capable twin tip.
