if you only ski on powder days, yes, but if you ski on days when we have had a thaw and it hasn't snowed in a while, you will be hating yourself. If you want a powder ski that you can rock literally everyday, check out the gotama or something similar
No. The Sanouk is phenomenal in powder, but there are many many skis that are better in crud and hardpack.Quote:

I've seen quite a few pairs of blue noodles as well
Although I still think that something like a Bro or similar width is perfect for an EC everyday ski
then supplement it with a cheap beater uber fat for those Nor'easters
I grew up in VT, I know Smugg's terrin on Madonna Mtn., I would go fo something stiffer. I have Sanouks, but those will be my BC ski with Naxos. Gotamas would a good choice if you want Volkl.
Too wide and too soft for everyday. Something like the legend pro would be a better all around ski for hardpack performance and powfloaticity.
I'm at smuggs too and I am on BRO's almost everyday and find them to be pretty good in most situations.
thanks for the advice
ill look at some goats
