The two that I really like are Blizzards zero-G 95 and BD Helio 95. Both are light and tour great. The Zero has a slightly stiffer trail and a snappier turn finish. BD has a great all around ski, very reliable and tours, skis and all around is a great set up.

They really need to make a subforum for these type of threads. Maybe they should call it, TECH TALK.

FYI Vaffanculo is Italian for "Fuck Off" and makes you sound more cultured than a macho Cauliflower with CTE.

So, you want everyone to tell you the "best" ski without telling us anything about yourself and posting in the wrong forum (if it still really matters with the new posts feed on mobile app and desktop) and then you also want us to fuck off?
Post, then smoke crack.

Nobody in tech skis? Who knew, thanks for informing us, we been posting in the wrong forum all along.
So get the red ones, they are the absolute best mountaineering ski by far.

I'm in an office actually thanks, but I believe you may be suffering from Early Onset Backcountry Dementia. I would suggest talking to a physician about your mental/ski selection dilemma, and would recommend Jason or Andy Dorais M.D., as they are both doctors and ski mountaineers.

Meh. There's so much bullshit on this forum that's barely ski-related anyway.
gimpy- I have been on the ZeroGs for a couple years. I like them and they are particularly good on firm, consistent snow. And they're stupid light. But if they were stolen and I needed to replace them, I'd probably look for something with slightly more tip rocker and a less stubby tip. I'd be willing to sacrifice some weight to do so. I find myself reaching for my fatter, rockered skis when I know I'll be dealing with inconsistent snow, even late in the spring. More thoughts on the ZeroGs here and in the comments.

I saw a video of a guys shredding 2x4s recently, it may work for you as you are also as stiff as a board.

Thanx ak. That's just what I was looking for.
U guys are too easy. I just posted here cuz it sees most traffic and the search function seems to not like me and I assume most like myself rarely ever visit the basement forums.

I'm on the volkl vwerks katanas and they are great skis, powder of course, but also firm steep couloirs, spring steep skiing, wind affected snow, mush
Best bc ski I've been on.
I prefer a damp ski when skiing steep terrain, and they are.

what else did anyone expect Alpy to say!
I really liked the Blizzard Scout for mountaineeeing. It's a little wider then you are looking for but did great in all conditions.
