Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Bigfoot on skis?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Looking for some suggestions on ski for 48 yrs 6'8" 275lb intermediate skier

Live in the NorthWest and now ski mostly front side but may ever once in a while go off trail.

Looking for a fun ski that has some pop to it out of the turns

Do not want to go wider than 88mm waist, not a huge fan

I have demo'ed several skis, but not able to get 185+ lengths to demo. Really liked the Blizzard Braham 88 and Nordica Navigator 85ti. The Volkl Kendo felt very dead


Any suggestions?

@theDogger, welcome to snowHeads! snowHead

I'm afraid I can't help you with your request for ski suggestions, hopefully some more knowledgeable sHs will be along shortly.

Incidentally I guess you are located in the US. snowHeads is a UK based forum (although several regular posters live outside the UK) so when you said you live in the Northwest I was pretty sure you weren't referring to Cumbria Laughing . I see you gave your location as CDA, would that be Coeur d'Alene Idaho? A nice location, do you ski mainly in Idaho itself or across the border in Washington state?

Could be CanaDA...

How many would recognise CDA as a location?

True, for some reason I just thought it would be a US location, mainly because the OP gave their weight in lbs (and height in feet and inches). As far as I'm aware Canada is metric so weight would be in kgs....

I think Mastermind would be more my style, my lack of knowledge of modern popular music beat combos, TV soaps and sport would I fear let me down on Pointless! Toofy Grin

A bit off topic, but on Mastermind on the general knowledge section I usually average about 10 questions correctly answered. Madeye-Smiley

Correct CDA= Coeur d' Alene, Id. Honestly was not paying attention to where this forum is based. But as far as skiing goes do not really ski Washington, venture more to the East to Montana(BigSky, Red Lodge) and Wyoming (Jackson Hole, Teton Village.) Skiing is much better Very Happy

But thanks Ill find another Forum State side

Cheers!

Brahma and Navigator are both popular choices. Can't see you'd go far wrong with either.

The origin of the name dates back to French fur traders: https://www.coeurdalene.org/play/history-heritage/ Madeye-Smiley
