Well I just booked my first ski trip with my Uni to VT at the start of this coming season and I'm buzzing about skiing!
I think I can afford some new skis, but I doubt it. My movments are looking slightly worn after the season in Tignes but I'm sure I can crack a few weeks outa them because I love them.
Pretty much what I want is something bit more hardcore, very much powder based.
Something like 110+ at the waist, large radius and over 190cm (I like my skis long), and they really have to enjoy speed.
I've got a few ideas but I'd quite like to ski them first and don't know quite how I can manage that.
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

if you like movements, have a look at the big goliaths 191 long and 108 wide, they're belters and you may still get a deal on previous models graphics
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Recon there is anywhere in the 3 Valleys where I could get my hands on a pair of those Dynas for a try?

Spikyhedgehog, Not sure, I haven't skied in Yoorup for a few years. Look into the DP's as well as Brian says-I nearly bought a pair but they would have probably kicked my light weight ass.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Also you can get a 201? DP if you so desire..
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

It doesn't have a real twin on it does it? I think the shorter one would be far more suitable for moi.
You know it makes sense.

Nahh. Neither do the squads or the XXL's.
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

XXLs are fine on piste except moguls. if you want to carve, you better be ready to go FAST
they are actually less stiff than Legend Pros, particularly in the tips. I have 186LPs and 194 XXLs. you could almost call the XXLs playful in comparison with the LPs, although the XXLs still RIP. I was a bit intimidated by the XXLs after picking them up cheap on SteepandCheap but once i finally sacked up and skied them they were a lot of fun
by all accounts the squads are another level of burliness
you will almost certainly be able to get LPs to try out; XXLs are a bit more niche so that might be more of a problem

They will get you back to a lift. I don't think you should be worrying about how they would handle on piste.
Apparently this years are a bit more "user friendly", your call, still insanely stiff.
Ignore Brian at your peril. The DP Pros are the berries. Only thing is they have just brought out the DP Pro Plus - mine arrive next week. I like the DP Pros so much I have two pairs - 201cm and 193cm.
Mind you, they are not for the faint-hearted, so perhaps stick to something slightly more camp!! Like a twin tip...
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Powderhound, sounds good as well!
Little bit thin though, I guess when you are properly charging it doesn't make much difference. They will definitely be put on my trial list.
