How many awesome pow skis do you have? (eg >111mm)

.

I'm natively a snowboarder so my ski quiver is a bit thin:
BentChetler 120 x 184
Lib Hemi 112 x 185
Lib Wunderstick 106 x 178 (touring only)
Hagan Boost 94 x 176 (summer volcano skis)

I'm at home at Baker and mostly just chase pow.

ok, I'll play - here is my families fat ski quiver:

My man-child teen exclusively rides these - I'll take these out occasionally -
- 188 Praxis Quixote
- 188 Line Mr Pollards Opus (demo binders so friends can run a powstick if they are visiting during a storm cycle)

Exclusively mine:
- 193 Prior Overlords - unmounted and ready in the bullpen
- 194 Praxis Quixote
- 194 4Frnt Devestators (my only rr ski)
- 196 Folsom Rapture

Got a few fatties

Moment Donner Parties, 134 x 186
Volk Ones 116 x 186
Lib Tech Pow Nas 116 x 191 they got a 151 tip which is kinda silly

The Volks and Lib Techs are fun to ski even when it’s not super deep, the Donner Parties on the other hand are really only for the deepest of days, but they are a magical experience when the conditions are right!

187 Hoji

187 Protest

185 praxis powder

192 DPS 138

Spatula

192 DPS 138 spoon

185 Armada JJ

And I thought I had too many. Thanks for bringing me back to earth.

Wide to skinny:

2009ish? 188 Praxis Protest-128mm (I was told they were prototypes? All black tops, no writing or graphics.)
2018 180 Line Pescado-125mm
2020 189 ON3P Cease & Desist-124mm
2014 191 ON3P Billy Goat-118mm
2011 184 DPS 112RP SE Pure-112mm

2016 195 Stockli Stormrider Pro 115
2013 203 Volkl Shiro
2012 193 Volkl Shiro

+ 2016 202 Fischer Ranger 108 - currently unmounted 1 bad edge thats kinda blown out. I will ski them again at some point unless the industry decides to start making skis for tall people again.

Speaking of which I've been eyeballing the 196 Moment Wildcat on their blem page and getting a real itchy checkout finger

+++ to +
OG DPS Lotus 138 Bamboo sidewall (202)
OG ON3P "Great Scott" Cease and Desist (192)
ON3P Super Goat (193 duh)
Moment Wildcat Tour 112 (190)

RIP Volkl Sumo (193)

I’ve far too many. The skis currently in use are:

DPS Wailer 112RP (184)
Icelandic Saba Pro (187)
DPS Lotus 124 with the spooned tip (191)
DPS Lotus 138 (182)

I also own:

Folsom Trophy (187)
Folsom Gambit 118 (195)

And:

2014 Line Opus (185) (bought for the topsheet graphics)
2009 Line EP Pro (185) (bought for the topsheet graphics)

186 Spatula
185 Nocta

and a few others that can double a pow skis in a pinch

One pair of Elam M999s in the back of the closet that have seen a grand total of ONE knee deep 19" powder days in 10 years. It was a leave at 5am day trip to get those goods. 10 years older, if I'm not there staying on the mountain or very close the night before it ain't happening anymore. Owning anything newer like that for me living here doesn't really make sense. A trip west would definitely warrant renting something more modern for sure.

118mm - 186cm Bodacious (OG)
118mm - 186cm Bodacious (reissue)
118mm - 190 Bibby Pro
113mm - 190 ON3P Wren
112mm - 188 G3 Sendr (touring ski)

Considering my current quiver is only 8 skis, 62.5% of my skis are awesome pow skis!

Bodacious is my DD for the Canadian Rockies, with the Bibbys coming out on soft and deep days and my Monster 108s coming out when it gets very firm.

Original production run ARGs (wife has frame touring bindings on them for meadow skipping pow)
190 Liberty Origin (Have CAST on them. great in lighter snow, but too light for heavy PNW)
192 Praxis Protest (very fun ski)
OG 191 ON3P Billygoat (rock pow ski)

She’s on the 187cm ARG? Or was it a 185cm originally? How heavy are they? Assuming they ski super short with that profile.

I’ve often thought about owning the ARG. I like stupid fat skis, and am ok with lots of tip/tail rocker.

Last year’s 187cm ARG UL version (still ~2,300 gm per ski) are on sale…. and I have some extra Duke PT 16s 125mm that would fit em. Which is typically all the encouragement I need to buy….

185. They are basically unskiably short for me at 6'4" with their tiny shovels, but my 5'9" wife (race background) loves them for anything deep.

Their size and shape/camber makes them super duper nimble, even in really heavy PNW cement. Much more nimble than protests IMO, but much more terrifying on hardpack too.

They aren't noticeably heavy, but don't think they are feathers either haha. Pretty perfect for deep days in tight/small terrain... Though they were also used by the armada team in AK quite a bit when they came out.

Lotus 138 192 r1
Moment bibby 184

Both mounted tele

Moment Wildcat 190 (118 underfoot)
Moment Deathwish 190 (112 underfoot)
Moment Deathwish Tour 190 (112 underfoot)

Perhaps the most interesting datapoint is that I only have one ski under 112 mm.

Fatty ratio 75/25. Nice. 70/30 seems to be where always I end up.

Update:

4FRNT Renegade with Duke PT (122mm waist)

Black Crows Anima with Pivots (115mm)

Line Blade Optic 114 with STH (114mm) - prolly selling as overlap with Anima

4FRNT Hoji with CAST (112mm)


On the way:

Heritage Lab Swallowtail R120 (220mm)

Rode those 191 Lib NAS Pows for a season. They were excellent on windblown crust, would drift a pow turn really well and carve the shit out of low angle groomers at the bottom. Great tool.

Simply sublime.

Glad this thread got bumped. I needed a little boost remembering that one can never have too many powder skis.

never too many powder skis! I find switching it up with different skis/styles always keeps the stoke high

Shameless plug but if anyone needs another 13x underfoot ski in their life, I’m selling a pair of 182 Comi’s for fairly cheap ($200).

I’d like to try the Revolt 114 and Black Ops Sender Squad

Slight update from this from over a year ago

Sender Squad
192 Declivity X (still selling)
186 Bodacious
196 Bodacious
186 Blackops 118 (x2)
187 Armada ARG II

Want to add 190 Wildcat 118s, and some heavy-ish noodles along the lines of 184 Reckoner KFs and 189 Reckoner 124s

189 Pon2oon (132)
192 Dynastar Legend Big Dump (120)
187 Billy Goat (118)
184 Volkl Revolt 114
184 V-werks Katana (112)

Just for the Revolt 114 this summer and can’t wait to try it. Also still looking for an OG Katana, not really a pow ski though.

Big Dump on paper sounds like an insane demanding ski. 38m radius, 3000g per ski, 192 with no rocker and flat tail. But it’s not nearly as demanding as the specs suggest. It’s a blast to ski in almost anything and since it’s basically flat under root it pivots really well.

I actually loved the 2012-2014 Katanas in powder. Heck, I even like the full rocker 100mm M4 Mantras in powder. Full rocker, even without a lot of splay and with some metal, works magic for me in pow.

Katanas weren’t much worse in pow for me than Wildcat 118s, Blackops 118s, and Bodacious. I’m in a lowly group that also never found Billy Goats to “float” amazingly, even though they are the absolute best at surfing through thicc snow. Didn’t think Katanas were much worse than BGs in all sorts of deep snow.

Now I want a Katana even more. :p

I’m with you on the BG. It’s my resort chop 1 hour after a pow day ski. Shorter, narrow VWK seem to float me as well as BG.

I've got a 191 once mounted Katana. (That I'm looking to sell cheap).
Cherry other than the mount and a tail delam from aggressive gondola loading.
