@Burgess, welcome to SH!
I tried the Sick Days last year, found them a bit clunky - this was on an indoor snow slope though...!
My two favourite skis of the last year have been Atomic Theory Vantages and my Salomon Q98's. The Salomons can be a bit brutal on ice due to the fair amount of rocker in the tips... Both skis are 98-100mm under foot which is fairly common for an 'all mountain ski' these days.. Best to try them out if you have a fridge nearby!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I skied on a pair of Blackeye Ti's Last season and loved them. I also skied on some volkl skis which I cant find anywhere! Also very good. My only conclusion from last year was that I need to try a few more different pairs before I buy!
I was recommended the Atomic Nomad Crimson Ti's for a bit more witch underfoot - Very tempting...
Also check out the dynastar Powertrack 79's
Also Head Rev 80 or 90
I fear going too wide but mostly because I usually go for a week in the early season and spend most time on piste but when I go in feb/march its 60/40
Maybe 2 pairs is the answer

@lgkersh, [at least] 2 pairs is always the answer!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@haigie..... Did you try the 95 or the 102??
I can definitely say that if it has taken me 24 years of skiing to buy one pair, it will definitely take another 24 to move into owning two ha!
The Atomic Theory Vantage looks interesting, I will do a little more reading.
Does anyone have any experience with the Volkl Mantra?? I am not sure if this would be too powder orientated......
The next question will be ski length, the skis I used this year were around 172cm, perhaps I should go a little longer?
Thanks for the information so far!

You'll need to Register first of course.

@Burgess, I'd hardly call the Mantra powder oriented.
my friends at Concept (Chamonix) are rating the Blizzard Bonafide over the Mantra which seems to have been somewhat detuned.

@under a new name, I think too many youtube videos are saying some skis are more than they really are.....
The bonafide in all the reviews seems to be a great ski, can anyone give any personal reviews on it?
Cheers,
James
