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

Hey tgr,

With the ski season winding down...reflecting that my ever-changing ski quivers always end up a top heavy with more pow skis (eg 70% of my total skis in my quiver are pow skis >111mm waist).

I grew up skiing Mt Baker where we skied 115mm LibTech NAS Pows as our DD's. I now ski Whistler/Blackcomb 40 - 50 days a year, plus get approx. 10 days at Red/Whitewater/Fernie. So I get a few decent pow days a year at some good hills. Not enough to justify my top heavy (70%) pow quiver though. But I know I like wide skis.

Wondering whachya all got in your bloated pow quivers...eg. "What skis do you have with waist widths >111mm"? I'm interested as a gear whore, but mostly I want to feel better about myself and my gear choices.

Here's mine:

K2 Pon2oon with STH (132mm waist)

Armada Whitewalker 121 with CAST (121mm)

Season Forma with Pivots (118mm)

Season Pass with Duke PT (116mm)

Line Blade Optic 114 with STH (114mm)

4FRNT Hoji with Pivots (112mm)

K2 Reckoner 112 with STH (112mm)

I have 3 other skis in my quiver....two that are 104mm (Blade Optic 104 and 4FRNT Raven) and one that is 96mm (Season Aero). Nothing under 95mm. Nothing from 105mm-111mm.

7/10 are >111mm = 70% of the quiver is in pow skis? Who else is at a 70/30 pow ski ratio or higher?

PS I just sold Faction Candide 5.0s (122mm) and 4FRNT Renegades (122mm) ....both those skis I've owned multiple times. I will probably buy Renegades again.

"I'd like to assert my 5th Amendment privilege..."

100% of my skis are >111 but I only have 2.

Deathwish Tour
Jeffery 116

Moving somewhere sunny so thinking of consolidating these 2 into a reckoner 112 with inserts for pivot and 300 gram touring clamp.

Your quiver is very thought out, not bloated, just many tools :)

if you post a quiver pic in here banditman....then beers at Whistler are on me!

My fatty quiver, from thin to wide:

192 Declivity X
186 Bodacious
196 Bodacious
187 ARG II

I’d like to sell the Declivity X and replace with a Billy Goat or Super Goat.

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

189 Kusala

Pescado

Wildcat 190

186 Bodacious

188 Quixote

Down CD114 LTD

I don’t think I have a problem because they each have specific uses and ideal conditions

186 Bodacious
196 Bodacious
190 Nocta


i have 7 other skis and six of them are 100+ and one that’s 88

Black ops 118 with jesters

Katana vwerks with alpinists

Other skis are 98, 95, and 68. Would love to add more wide guys but my wallet and common sense are winning out for now

If it makes you feel better I own 11 or 12 pairs of resort skis, not actually sure.

Only 2, OG Bodacious and Blank meet your qualifications. Some of my best powder days this year though were on my Katanas (108.) I love that ski.

You are a man of exquisite taste…

194 Salomon Blank (112mm)
193 Elan Ripstick 116
190 Black Crows Nocta (122mm)
189 Blizzard Spur (125mm)

Too many skis, might have to unload the spurs before next season.

Not too many

192 2013 Atomic Bent Chetler
191 2015 ON3P Billy Goat
191 2014 ON3P Billy Goat
189 2019 ON3P Billy Goat 116
188 Dynastar Proto 118
192 2021 ON3P Billy Goat 118

You could say I have a type [emoji28] Will likely consolidate something here, but my 191 BGs are cold, dead hands skis. In fact, if anyone has a pair you are looking to sell, let me know.

Too many to list:nonono2:
Least I have VitaminI and Pretzel's quiver's to make me feel better.

And KC, Uber phats aren't just fer pow!
Attachment 456360

187 Hojis
181 4frnt Inthayne with shifts (50/50 ski)
186 Chipotle Banana
185 Powderboards

Technically my 186 EHPs can still be skied

Shout out to OG MVPs which rule in powder for 109 (110?) under foot.

Pretty much everything except three pairs

Ha, way too many wide skis here as well.

Damn, I need to sell stuff, make me an offer
I don't even have a garage

[emoji1787]

Quiver of two currently, both >111. I’ve still got the classic Lib Tech NAS Pows that I pull out occasionally to remind me I’m old and not as strong as I once was. Daily driver 4frnt Hoji.

This has made me realize I only have one pair of skis over 110 in width.

Asym Billy Goats at 116

Considering I skied as many pow days as not this year I should probably buy something wider soon

I have like 4 skis in the 100-110 though and only one ski under 100.

Nah…I just have a hard time letting go. I’m impressed by your ability to look towards the future and recycle skis more quickly.

Way too many hehe

Fatties are collectables, every year they become more rare as skis move towards being versatile.

Sold 2 pairs that would qualify in the last few weeks.

K2 Reckoner 112
Salomon Rocker 2 122 (actually 115mm @180 cm)
Dynastar Pr-oto (118mm)
Volkl BMT 122
Praxis Powderboards

I have 3 other pairs on inbounds skis...

Volkl K108
Salomon Rocker 2 100
Volkls Blaze 86

Touring ski is Volkl Blaze 106

This is honestly pretty reasonable now that I look at it.

Sender squads are technically 110 under foot so you gotta drop from this list and fill that slot with something new...
