I don't know if you are looking for a powder specific ski, But these skis will work well in powder. If you want an all mountain ski that is a good powder ski, these are awesome. There are better hard pack skis that work as well in powder as the shogun but if you want twin tips these are probably the best option for an all mountain ski.

The shogun is only 100ish mm underfoot depending on what size you get. By most standards that is the width most all mountain skis are being classified as these days (maybe slightly on the wide side for some people though). So as far as it being a powder specific tool, there are much better options with much wider tips, waists, and tails, and much more rocker in the tips and tails as well. This ski does have some tip rocker though, so in a few inches of fresh it's going to float really well. Does it do well in powder, yes, and it's a great choice if you're looking to only have one ski to ski everything. But for deeper powder there are much better options that will float, slash, and smear way better.
