Ski help

[Droopy]

I am trying to decide on a pair of skis to buy seeing as how mine blow. I am stuck between the Rossignol Bandit B2's and the Atomic R11 beta plus TI.

I live on the east coast so i have to have a ski that can at least put up with the conditions out here(ICE) however I do go out west every year to ski, I need a ski that is good both on and off piste. All the reviews I have read say that the Atomic's aren’t very good in the pow I was wondering if anyone knows just how bad they are. If you have any other suggestions let me know. Thanks

go fat and don't look back. I ski in the 'dacks and northern VT everyday on a pair of Pocket Rockets(90mm underfoot). They serve me well. I will be upgrading to the Atomic R:EX sometime soon b/c its stiffer. I would never go under 83mm underfoot again except with a race ski. Look for something in the 83-90mm underfoot category.
