I think that might be a bit wide underfoot for what I'm looking for. Right now my primary ski is an 07 Rossi B2, which I absolutely love on everything, but hardpack/ice. They are more than quick enough for me to ski bumps and on packed powder I can carve pretty darn well with them.
Hawkshot might have a good call in the mutix. My only concern in a race ski however is that they have a very solid core, preferably wood, so that they don't break down quickly. I'm less concerned with that happening on the B2's due the conditions I am generally looking to ski with them.
B2 will be my all mountain board for the next couple of seasons. They'er great in all but the deepest pow and just about everything else.
It's just the skied off / hard pack riding I'm looking for something to charge with that is capable of both medium radius turns and short radius for steep shots. I'm thinking 14-15m
