My fingers hurt from searching the forums for threads to answer my Qs... no luck. Anyone have experience on two or three of these skis that can lend comparative advice? Am I missing other ski candidates? I'm looking for a new A/T setup, for sierra backcountry and big resort days. Has to shine in all variations of sierra stuff: pow, corn, porn, oatmeal, crust, windbuff... Ideally weight will not be insane. I currently ride a flippy/floppy '02 Work Stinx (puke yellow) with Fritchis, Scarpa Lasers. I am looking for something with a little more float and stability at speed, as well as something that can give the finger better to really chopped up stuff. I weight 165 after getting groomed at the vet. I guess I am a moderately agressive skier.
Thanks

i dont know how much the jaks/motherships or reverends weight, but the pistol/hippy stinx is a beast weight wise. im touring on the bros now and loving how light my setup is relative to the size of the skis. might want to talk to splat about it!

if you can't get the bros you can get this years jaks at bc.com for cheap right now. i have a set mounted tele and i think i'd love to mount them AT for a bc setup. the hippies are nice but heavy and less stable at high speeds.
