    Can't decide on skis, help me!

    I have it narrowed down to four choices; Head Jimi 110-191cm, Fischer Watea 98 twintip- 186 cm, Atomic Access- 191cm, and the Hart One-182cm.

    About me, I love skiing all conditions and spend half my time on the groomers half on the pow, I usually stray from the steeps and the bumps but like to get to some speed at times. I am 6'7" 290lbs and ski pretty aggressively.

    Let me know what you think. I am open to other suggestions but feel like theses are the skis for me.... I know I have left volkl off the list, I have something against them, not sure what though....

    Thanks

    No problem.

    How about searching? How about trying to demo some skis?

    Instead of coming in and asking a stupid question as your first post, look around a little. There's a lot here. Seriously.."I'm gigantor, I like groomers, I like pow, I dont like steeps or bumps, what ski should I get?"

    Try Epic.

    Try going and fucking yourself, maybe if you dont have shit to say you should keep your sarcastic useless mouth the fuck shut you useless piece of shit. Forums are for people looking for more knowledge and input from people that have experience....

    So again go fuck yourself you high and mighty ass sucking cock goblin

    If by "knowledge" you mean "nekkid pics of your girlfriend" and by "input" you mean "bacon porn" you've described TGR perfectly.

    Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid.

    FTW!

    Seriously, you'll find a much more sympathetic crowd at epicski.

    Wow. You're a real douchebag, huh?

    Here I was getting ready to chime in on the options you've listed as well as to provide some additional suggestions....

    Seeing your shitty attitude, I'd now recommend that you choke on a bag of dicks.

    It's not on your list, but if there's a demo center nearby you might to check out the K2 Fatty 88. It's a twintip and maybe a little quicker than any of the choices you're looking at so far.

    You describe yourself as an "aggressive skier" though everything you list about yourself leads to the contrary.

    Ahhh. Please remember to tell your friends back on EpicSki that you got "insulted" and "disrespected" here.

    I have a suggestion for you: go pay the $$$ required by Peter Keelty at realskiers.com, his vibe and style will be right up your alley. You know: HUGE dude, 50/50 "pow" and groomers, "aggressive" skier looking at soft sticks to "shred" the whole hill. Keelty's right on that target, bubba.
