    WTB 180 ish friendly 115-120 pow skis for buddy

    So he has gone in powder a few times and sinks on his 95s. Budget is $350 flat or $450-500 with alpine bindings

    He does not ski switch but some of the newer school stuff seems easier for pow learner. I think full reverse is too much and rocker with camber is likely best

    Thoughts are
    179 automatic
    176 billy goat
    Empire 115
    Petititor 120

    Others?

    Throw em up and I can let him know
    Think not a noodle but not a 2x4

    We are in UT and local pick up preferred
    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....

    If you are willing to go full rocker and a touch shorter this is a pretty good deal. $470 shipped 176 Volkl One w/ Attack 13s Just a thought.

    Funny have the same ski a touch longer 186 and didn't put it up there because of the full rocker comment. One mount for pivots @ 316 - $325 shipped flat - clamps not for sale
    Why don't you go practice fallin' down? I'll be there in a minute.

    Bodacious sounds right
    I have a pair of 185 Cochise with Tyrol SX130 that are in great shape. Only 108 underfoot, but otherwise fits the criteria.

    would also consider salomon rocker2/qst 115, very easy going ski, but not great in crud/tracked

    Fuck it. Tell him to man up and get the Star 7s from Evo.

    Still only $229 for a 178cm. Seems like a no brainer to me.

    Thanks all, I have contacted my buddy and he is sorting through reviews, tweets, armchair comments and videos. He has decided he wants to ski pow!
