    the perfect high speed straightliner

    So this year I really have taken to straightlining chutes and big lines. Right now I ride a pair of Rossi B4's and get too much flex and instability at speed out of them. Any suggestions for the ultimate high speed, ass kicking straightliner? Right now I have my eye on Rossignol B Squads or Head Supermojo 105's.

    280-300 flex FFF sounds like they'd fit the bill. Personally, I don't even like the thought of being in the same room as a ski like that.

    Good choice in 190's. Lots of options in the Iggie line. 200 FFL with 270-80ish flex don't have the waist, but would be very good too.

    Those would be the top on my list. B-squads don't fit the bill imo. I haven't been on the 94's, but the 89's are too soft in the tip and not quite forgiving enough in the tail imo.

    190's are for pussies. Go for 240.

    Actually, a 2x6 isn't that stiff along the wide axis.

    The sidecut is fucking core, though.

    LP's work, but Squads are definitely stiffer to this nancy-boy.

    ^^^ Is the turning radius of those skis measured in meters or kilometers? Just curious.

    Bingo!...these things are so stable it's almost stupid...I've been on these for about 15-20 ski days now and I can go as fast as they will get going and still feel like I'm going 10 MPH
    If it's green, smoke it...if it's pink, poke it

    I would think a pair of next year's Blizzard Kreitler pro's should do the job. 58m radius.

    You can straightline moguls - the 103s are that damp and stable.
