Best pure powder ski?

dlague · Dec 16, 2015

My son in CO has had several powder days so far and is looking to add a powder ski to his quiver. He was looking at the Rossi Sqaud 7, but after looking at it it seems like a beast in terms of stiffness. It does have the Air tips and is cambered but it is 128 mm under foot/

Do you all have any suggestions?

These seem a bit better suited - Rossi Super 7 http://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/rossignol-super-7-2014.aspx#image=69010/339769/clone.jpg

Lots of great deals on skis these days...but some are still high:evil:..
The smaller Independants make some interesting skis...weight/materials, camber/flat, rocker...etc, tailored to Rocky Mtn conditions..imho...but their prices often stay up...(fwiw).
Ask Cheese about the Super 7. Squad 7s were popular as well...Atomic, Salomon, Blizzard, Nordica...etc.
Lots of skiers since the 60s have used everything under the sun, with less sidecut, out West...and have lived to enjoy.

I forwarded that link to my son. He is the one interested since he is in CO and powder days are happening! I like the design of the 117 you posted on FB.

Yup, and why? Unless you're skinning or heli, a pure power ski gets very limited use by lift served skiers. On a powder day, you need to get on line way early before they drop the rope for the lifts, and then you get maybe a handful of runs before you're back to the car/locker for your stiffer cut-up/crud busting skis. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but your son should be prepared to have a quiver handy, but I'm sure he knows if he's living the dream out there.

Love my Blizzard Cochise's

"Only" 108 under foot, but with full rocker and a bit of a stiffer overall flex profile then many powder skis, they work very well not just in untracked powder, but also after the trails and trees have been hammered and are more of a soft chop situation, as well as when the spring corn season starts.

Sadly, the way the weather in the East looks right now, mine won't be coming out of my families ski storage area in our condo until I load them into the ski bag for when we go out to Utah on MLK Day
