    What Ski Am I?

    Looking for a more every day driver for touring, mainly soft snow performance, as my Praxis Protests are probably toast after this season. By far my favorite soft snow ski ever, everything about the ski rocks (although the weight is a bit much sometimes when touring on longer days) but it is a *bit* overkill most days in CO. Basically, I want to replace them with something that skis somewhat similarly but is narrower (obviously sacrificing some flotation).

    Looking for something similar to:

    ~180cm
    ~110-115mm
    minimal camber
    tip + tail rocker
    ~30m radius
    sub-1800g if possible

    Thoughts?

    I haven’t skied the protest or any of the following skis but:

    Hoji is that but zero camber

    Anima freebird is that but 20 degree turn radius

    Steeple 116/billy goat tour would definitely be that but well over 1800g.

    I would pay a lot of money for an 1800g billy goat. One day.
