I bought my first seasons pass after many years in the backcountry, need to pick up a one ski resort quiver killer. Im looking for a good ski for groomers and bumps with the occasional first chair pow lap before it gets skied up.
Rossignol Experience 94 also look good.
im 5'11" and 170 lbs
What do you ski in the backcountry? Have you skied either of those skis? Other than waist size, the Rustler9 and E94 are not similar.

I can tell you that the Rossi will be demanding in bumps, relatively narrow to be quick but stiff and you'll be poppin outta troughs launching 2 attatime...
They will be outstanding ripping the groomed and as a DD but will be less fun in soft snow. Still very stable and easy to rip in less than a foot.
As Jackattack says, not the same kinda skis. Once you start looking at top tier boards, they tend to perform in a more refined manner depending on build.
If you want that kinda ski, just buy my Kastle MX88s...Quote:

My personal favorite low-tide ski from last season is the Dynastar menace 98, sort of an old freestyle design, burly, damp, playful, cheap.
Bump still looking for a daily driver for colorado resort skiing
If you want to look more into the Dynastar option given, I'm pretty sure the Menace is just a rebranded Slicer and you can get those for under $250 new.

If you ever get up to Aspen, I’ve got a bunch I’d sell cheap.
Blizzard Rustler 9 is a good option, in my opinion, but for western resorts I'd go with the 10. Forgiving ski but still stiff enough to power through stuff.
I have 185 Cochise blue with no titanal. It has two mounts and current is pivot at 310. Great shape overall
Yeah, I'm leaning towards the lower end of that because I will ski weekdays no matter the conditions. I have a friend with a bunch of pow skis I can borrow if it will be deeper, but I feel like I should own a pair of daily drivers instead of being a mooch.Quote:

Too many skis in my garage and I can’t get off my 96s or Billy Goats.
Grabbed a pair of k2 pinnacle 95 ti with look pivot 14s. Corbetts for $450 shipped.
Nice deal, those should serve you well.Quote:
