New to off piste (powder) skiing: Need advice

[Cyber Cop]

I guess no one skied powder before fat skis? lol.

If you ski fast and aggressively and plan to do so in powder as well, get something stiff - generally with a sheet of metal in it like the Volkl Mantras or Dynastar Legend Pros. If you ski less aggressively, look for something softer like one of the K2 boards. Obviously, the best thing for you to do is hook up with a demo day at your local resort and try everything you can get your hands on.

Hi Xarus! Had enough of this childish treatment after posing such a friendly and legitimate query? I bet you have! I would like to take this opportunity to formally invite you(as well as all of the lurkers and non-lurkers alike)to come join our fun-loving but responsible bunch of snowriding aficionados who know the benefits of what good moderation brings to an on-line community. I think most all of you will find that our seasoned moderators "keep the bar high" by maintaining a sense of order and decorum, while encouraging quality discussion about our favorite pastime. It may take a small amount of getting used to, as we do have reasonable standards as far as language and image posting that are strictly enforced. The registration is easy and painless, and the rules will be explained in detail during the process. If you are tired of the juvenile goings-on at TGR, all I can say is: "Come join the fun"!

Ive decided to go for some fatter skies now, to get some control on the deep snows outside the track. I tried some twintips from a colleague yesterday (4FRNT VCT 175's), but I was wondering what kind of ski you would recommend for a guy my size.

Xarus this may help :

AlpineZone invites trolling at AlpineZone for clean fun times.

I thought I was having fun.... Oh well.

If the OP is a troll, well then. If the OP is not a troll, there are good bits of info here. I am sure the OP could also use the [I]search[I] function to find even more bits of info. Or the OP can go to AZ where pictures of Suits on Snowblades are prohibited, along with any touch of sarcasm, or any dirty bad words.

Insane indeed the raxski is a dream for those ultra tight lift line runs in Urrop and all over. They make it easy to turn quickly, make flat traverses from one side to the other and you look sooooo cool.
They really shine ripping the big open bowls of the off piste pow. I like them better than snowblades.

I thought this was a joke at first.
What a douchnozzle.

To the OP, go here and read the reviews, there's tons of info to help you pick a ski.
