    i got to check out my buddy's stokli asteroid 201's pretty much the same ski as the ss pro model i think.

    I only got to ski them a couple runs and mostly on soft sticky groomers. Really never got a chance to get them up to speed. They turn better than i expected, rail on groomed well. The few little soft mashed potato sections were summarily destroyed by the skis. All in all pretty sweet.

    I did almost crash when i tried to force them through too tight a turn and the tails washed out. But i was trying to find their limit for tight turns, guess i did find it.

    I may need a pair of those babies next year.

    yeah, the JP/Julian's look promising. they had a pair at the armada distrobution center when i was there last - they're big beasts. the new ARVs also looked good

    Get the Stocklis. Probably the best construction for a mass produced ski (although they don't make too many of them as it is). The thing is so much fun to ski. So buttery laying out powder turns. Stable at any speed. The only thing they aren't good at is hard pack-it doesn't like to be over turned, but all fat skis have this problem.
