Sanouk EC Setup

[SkiBumOfVT]

Hey everyone, I ski smugglers notch, vt. wondering if I could ski the sanouk as my everyday ski? Is it not good on hardpack? Could I ski it with my weight im 155 6'2"?

if you only ski on powder days, yes, but if you ski on days when we have had a thaw and it hasn't snowed in a while, you will be hating yourself. If you want a powder ski that you can rock literally everyday, check out the gotama or something similar

No. The Sanouk is phenomenal in powder, but there are many many skis that are better in crud and hardpack.

Nope, I think its a bit too soft

Better options of uber fat skis that could work on the EC everyday would be Big Daddies, Gotamas, and possibly Spatulas(reverse camber works great in the trees).

I've seen quite a few pairs of blue noodles as well

Although I still think that something like a Bro or similar width is perfect for an EC everyday ski

then supplement it with a cheap beater uber fat for those Nor'easters

I grew up in VT, I know Smugg's terrin on Madonna Mtn., I would go fo something stiffer. I have Sanouks, but those will be my BC ski with Naxos. Gotamas would a good choice if you want Volkl.

Too wide and too soft for everyday. Something like the legend pro would be a better all around ski for hardpack performance and powfloaticity.

I'm at smuggs too and I am on BRO's almost everyday and find them to be pretty good in most situations.
