Trying to decide between the Geisha, the Rossi BC Pro 110 and the Volkl Kiku. I know they're all different waist widths but all claim to be a great all mountain ski with focus on powder. I'm on volunteer patrol at Winter Park, CO, and need a ski primarily for powder (50%), bumps (30%), and groomers (20%) but I want at least a 95 width at the waist. Anyone got an opinion or recommendation?

You're looking at two slightly different skis. The 110 and the kiku have rocker in both the tip and the tail, while the geisha only has tip rocker. That will make the geisha finish turns more traditionally on the hardpack, while 110 and kiku will be more nimble and surfy/slashy in the pow. My suggestion: get two, geisha for everyday and either 110 or kiku for pow. Everyone needs another pair of skis. :)

I may not be quite the level you are, but I recently demo'ed all 3 of these, plus the Mantras. I am in LOVE with the Geishas. I could learn to love the Kivus, but think the Geishas were better on more kinds of terrain. I responded to them immediately, where every ski I've tried in the last 7 years has taken a lot of getting used to, and many I never really fell for. I didn't get much time on the Rossi's and conditions sucked that day, so I can't make a fair comparison of those.

hey JB- haven't skied the other 2 products, but the Geisha is an amazing all around versatile ski and performs well in varying conditions. You will love the reverse camber for its stability, speed and flotation in the powder, as well as its basalt & bamboo construction that provides good absorption in the bumps, and all with a nice side cut for groomers and hard pack. This would be great fit for you for high performance and reliability as a patroller on skis on mixed condition days.

With 100 underfoot, the Geisha, which is the exact same ski than the Shogun, should make you the happiest ski patroller of Winter park. No kidding, this ski is amazingly versatile and if you aim to use it on a mix of terrain, I don't recommend you to go over this footprint. They'd be too wide for 50% of your skiing time (bumps and groomers). Cherry on the cake, with its Basalt and bamboo layering system, the Geisha is one of the most lively ski of the market. Easy, fun and playful on all terrain, and any conditions.
