Im 6'6, 230lbs, i want to get a ski in teh 100-110 range underfoot primarily for skiing powder days. I ski the K2 Recon 184 as my everyday ski for bumps, groomers, etc. I am looking at the Volkl Gotama, K2 Obsethed and possibly the Dynastar XXL. Anyone have any info as to which would be the best fit?

Well personally the ObSethed is my favourite ski. I use it for my pretty much everything ski, just no bumps, which I don't ski anyway. The Goats are pretty sick skis too, great in the pow and trees. The XXL, definitely not a fan, but that is just me. I know plenty of guys that rip on it, but I never felt comfortable. The ObSethed floats on the pow, slashes in the trees, even shreds up the groom, and the rocker is nice. I say go for that, and get the 189.
