Replacement for Rossignol Super 7s
I ain't small - 6'3" 240. Currently on 195cm Rossi Super 7, graffiti paint scheme model. I like a lot except in moguls, which I'm fine with. What should I get to replace them?
Also, recommendation for a groomer, east coast ski?

What did you like about the Super 7? I skied them for 2-seasons before ditching them for Squad 7's. They Squad was a better ski on everything but groomers, is lighter, but also handles crud better. auvgeek's recommendation of the 189 BG or 193 SG isn't that far off. However, the Super 7 had around a 21-m turn radius and had a lot of bite on groomers. The BG/SG has a larger turn radius 28/29-m IIRC, and is above average on groomers, but not as dynamic as the OG Super 7. I was thinking that a Volkl Confession (193) or Volkl Enforcer 115 Pro (191) might be worth a look for someone with your physical characteristics.

I do like them on spring snow groomers, take everywhere minus the bumps.

The Billy and Praxis Q would both be great skis, but since you are a fan of the Super 7 which is an easy going ski with a pretty small turn radius I would look at the Blizzard Rustler 11...

Spur or 189 goat
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.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

My brother in law has super 7s in a 188 so i got a few laps on it. GPO is a spot on replacement. I didn't mind the supers but they didn't excite me. Keith even dropped the super 7 as a reference point to me when I was first emailing him about the GPO. . GPO 193 all the way, great all around soft snow pow ski, that is silly fun on groomers.
