I know for a fact that at least EMS in north conway will have the Kilowatts for rental - not sure if they'll be mounted with AT or tele. I'm considering those as my AT bc skis for next year.Still considering the Black Diamond Kilowatt but wanting to read more reviews since this is the first year of the ski.
Pulled the trigger on some fat skis at the tail-end of the season: Rossi B4's (122-94-112) in a 168 length. Reserved for powder days and possibly a trip out west in 07-08. Couldn't resist getting them on snow last Saturday so I took two runs on them at Wildcat. Took some getting used to but they're good and mellow. Can't wait for a big snowfall to truly crank 'em up!
Wanted to get something this year but the fear of not having tried the skis I wanted and luke warm reports prevented a trigger pulling. Definitely will be getting a nice powder board next year. Something in the 92-98 waist range with a decent sidecut as close to 20 as possible. Would like to get on a pair of Salomon Sandstorms to try them out. The addition of a 180cm ski next season makes the package more enticing. After flexing a pair of teneighty guns, I knew that was not a ski I would consider. Still considering the Black Diamond Kilowatt but wanting to read more reviews since this is the first year of the ski. Probably will try to find a demo day early next season and give a few different boards a try. Definitely disappointed I was not able to pick something out this season but it was not for lack of looking and trying.

I'm planning on getting a pair of Volkl Gotamas in 183 cm for my powder skis. I demoed them this past year on St. Patrick's Day (after the big dump) & loved them. While they are fat (133-105-124) they ski oh so smooth. :wink:
