Hi

Ive just started to venture off piste like to get some more powder experience.
ive tried all 3 of skis below up at milton keynes but i havent tried them in powder yet.
can anyone give me some advise on which one will suit me?. and what lenght i should go for? or if you know of another pairs skis that would suit me.
1. Rossignol scratch BC <-------------- my friend is pushing me to buy these.
2. Volkl AC 3 unlimited

If you liked the Eliminators and want skis to focus on getting you off-piste more, I would go a little fatter and can recommend the Hot Rod Nitrous (78mm waist) or maybe fatter still with the Hot Rod Afterburner (83mm waist I think).
Some people woud say go fatter still but I think that would depend how much off-piste (read as deep snow) you plan to be skiing.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Agree with Conor, get a ski with a good sidecut and aim for a minimum of 80mm in the waist. The Scott Mission is one such ski, albiet 89mm in the waist has a very short turn radius.

Wow that's long and heavy skis, wouldn't you like something a little shorter and lighter ?

LOL @ odin. Thats me sliding down the slope on my butt . thanks all, i had a look at scott missions they look like they would fit the bill.
Maybe K2 outlaws, 88mm underfoot and 19m side cut.
