...one ski to rule them all, and in the powder bind them...
Stuff is heavy, even for the Sierra. Something big and stiff (they should call it The Irul).
I skied my 190 Explosivs this past weekend, and they were the right ski.Last edited by irul&ublo; 02-13-2007 at 01:46 PM.

It's not supposed to snow beyond some flurries today so I'd leave the spats and toons at home unless you like riding them on old packed snow.

spats? it's lots of tracked, heavy crud now (fwiw, i skied at sugar bowl this weekend, not squaw, but i assume conditions are similar). seems like spats might help you blast through, and the reverse sidecut would be nice in this VERY grabby snow.

LPs. It is pretty dense and you don't sink that much.

Of those three with no new snow in the forecast I think it's a no brainer:
LPs
I'll be there Friday and probably the weekend....not on my Pontoons.Every man dies. Not every man lives.

...which is exactly why I'll be on my softer 189 SV and not my LPs or AK Rockets. Originally Posted by Huckwheat
