Good tree ski?
I ski in the glades a lot here on the east coast, would these skis do well in the woods?
I also ski groomers and love to hit the pow hard when the jay cloud (jay peak, vt) gives us 18" of fluffy white. Seems to me these skis would be great for groomers, pow, and whatever else I could throw at them.
Any other recommendations for similar skis that might perform well in the woods/everywhere else?
Thanks guys

Cochise would be a great ski to look if you're a bigger guy. They're not stiff but will be a better performer on tough east cost conditions (manky snow, firm crud, icy groomers) as they have metal which will help the ski bust through everything and it will perform better on hard groomers. TST will probably be better in POW but Cochise would be more ideal other conditions.

Right now I am debating between this ski, the Salomon Shogun, and the Blizzard Cochise. Time wise, I ski about 35% groomers, 35% trees/glades, and the rest in powder. I am leaning towards the TST or Shogun. What would you recommend?

I say yes. These are highly versatile skis, and incredible in powder. Another ski from Armada, the JJ, is my personal favorite for skiing powder in the trees. they really turn on a dime and are very stable in that environment. I think the TST might be a more well rounded east coast ski however.
