    Looking to replace older Squad 7’s

    I have an older set of Squad 7’s. The model right before they switched to the blue top sheet and started making them lighter but in the current ‘shape’. They’ve served me well but are getting a little flexed out feeling with each additional season.

    Looking to fill the same resort powder role. I don’t mind wide skis and I tend to use the Squads a lot. Ideally I would like something close to as stable but maybe slightly more playful. I have some 186 renegades for touring and love them but the 196’s are out for the year and I wouldn’t mind a bit of camber.

    What skis should be on my radar? The Billy Goat jumps out from research along with the Bibby Pro. I’m tempted to jump on the Billy Goat band wagon but I’ve only read about them and never touched a pair.

    There’s not much aside from the billygoat with the bigger radius and shape that lets you slash.

    I loved the 2013 190 Squad 7s (two+ seasons). I love the 2016 189 Billy Goats more (second season)

    This. I have skied several generations of the Squad and the Billy Goat is better at everything. Esp if you can find the 191's. [emoji16]
