Fatypus D Sender 194. Chargey, but not so much so the ski was no longer fun.

Carbon fiber can go fk itself. I'll take 2 sheets of metal and zero camber with a super G turn radius all day long.

I love my Pettitors, big floppy sticks but I'm light enough to charge on them. They feel good in the air too.

For park I like the BO98. Stiff and solid underfoot and in the tails but a soft rockered nose is a fun combo. Much more fun than my old Punx and more stable than the RMU Diams I used to ride. Could use some more tail splay though, landing switch in slush is sketchy cause they are barely a twin tip.

K2 hellbents, most fun and playful pow skis I’ve ever had the chance of riding. I have to ride anything that has came close to as fun as these are on a pow day. Graphics on them also stood out and I always love seeing others ride em

They just feel right. The rocker profile is perfect and the flex feels soft, but it's sti supportive. Also I've got the jeremy dean version so they're extra cool.

I've really been enjoying my Reckoner 112 this year. I am a bit taller so I ski the 191. Even with the extra length the ski is still light enough to rip around the park but has enough to it to mash crud and pow.

Liberty antigen. Those were so fun. So nimble and soft but you could really use that bamboo core to pop you back up when you sent it too deep.

I loved those things. I felt like I could ski anything with them unless it was too wet or deep.

Moment Bibby 184. Perfect all-mtn ski, mine have 250+ days and are a bit worse for wear (my fault not moments’s). I’ll probably get some 190’s next winter for better pow performance.


Honorable mention: Line Supernatural 108, fuck man, lay up of gods. I don’t usually ski directional stuff but these are so mellow until you tell them otherwise. That core in the current bacon shape would be so versatile and amazing.

K2 Seth Vicious. Loved the homage to the Sex pistols/ Sid Vicious. They had a zipper in the tail, rivets tip and tail. 130/98/120 or thereabouts, full sidewall and triaxial braided core. Such a fun ski.

The old K2 graphics were so sick. Not sure if these were when Ryan Schmies (?) was doing them.
