what ski for crud/powder/park/bumps for a off trail novice
hello all,
im always skied on packed snow, im from the uk and used to race on dendex(plastic bristles) so i can ski well but just have very little experience in crud powder bumps and the park as i spent all my time on snow practicing carving, ive got skis specific for groomers but im now looking to spend some time in the park and varied snow conditions,
what ski do you all recommend?

DPS Spoon is your ski.
PM Rontele, I believe he has a few b-stock ones still in the plastic for stupid cheap.Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

just had a look at them on a review, im not sure i could get my head around skiing something as funky looking as that, ive never skied anything wider than 78mm waist, im just looking to step up to fats, getting a set of these would be like a virgin losing it in a gang bang on a porno

PM Rontele for sure...great dude and he'd probably be down to give you a pair to try and see if you like them. Shoot him a message.

Rontele is also the US importer for Rax. They have quite the following around here so you might check those out since they're a bit more beginner friendly than the Spoon.

Dude ask Rontele for the spoon it is so worth it. If you are a bigger dude go big spoon, although since you are kinda new and the big spoon can some times be a bit much to handle you can get away with the little spoon, RonTele is good for both.

Hey Rossy!
Just one pair of skis is simply no good for the bumps/backcountry/park. I know from experience.
First off, you probably should check out these cool new parabolic skis by Salomon that make ANYTHING easy to ski -- even powder. My friend's a pro, and he says they have a really new school shape.
NEXT what you need are a pair of short park skis or preferably ski boards for the sick park jumps out west. Dude I'm talking about building a Quiver for you!
Just PM Alkasquawlik and he'll point you in the right direction.

quiver, thats a word that keeps cropping up kidder, in my quiver so far i have a set of salomon equip 3v(slalom skis) rossignol gs skis and scott aztec pros, i dont like the look of them soloman things and i most certainly wont be getting no blades like them ^^^^^
im just after a powder/park ski i can learn some new skills on,
whats in your quiver superior?
