    Question Small guy wants big skis- but which?

    Gotta get new sticks but can't decide. I try to ride big pow but mostly get stuck with chop. 5'10'' 140 lbs. Someone tell me what the best-iz twin-tip pow skis for me iz... I need a ski that can charge from the first tram to last chair- switch. B.C.'s? Mantra's? ARV's? Pistols?

    P.S. Anyone wanna carpool form Anchorage to Valdez this winter?

    As somebody once said, you're not small, you're just skinny.

    I'm 5'8 and 140 lbs soaking wet with ski boots and full winter gear and I ride the Bro stiffs. The softs are about a stiff as the Black scratch BCs (too soft for me)

    5'7" (weight deleted) I'm waiting for the short bros to come out in the stiff version.

    Cuz - if it's gotta be short, it better be stiff!

    I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
    If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.
