After yet another epic winter last year both at home on my little hills and out west, and an incredible opportunity to ski on the Gotama's, I invested in a 2009 Kiku. 168cm 21.1 TR 133_105_124
I'm extremely intrigued by the 2010 Kiku, which is rockered.
K2 PBR's. Maiden AK's with a 10/20 rocker. Justified for me last years since I had 25 days west last year with all but a few that weren't powder days. I liked the ski a lot, I don't think it would be your weapon of choice. I could see you more on a Line Mothership or some of the new Nordica Girish or the Ja.

Do you want a rocker or more traditional?
I was extremely impressed with the way you go around on these at Big Sky/Bridger.
Not sure if it was the ski or the skier, but you/they rocked!!



165 Line Celebrities, 125-90-113. I'm sure that's just what you're looking for. ;) I also skied mine in the Sundown bumps at the end of the season and they performed quite well, surprisingly. The closest to powder they came was when I skied the NELSAP sledding hill in town last season after 6-8" of fresh snow. Probably not the best test for them.
We need to get you out west to test those things out!!!

SkiDork, I have and love my Bros's as well, but I found the Kiku's to be more nimble in the deep powder, while the bros are more fun when I am railing big mountain terrain.
Make sense, or am I speaking blonde again?
