I live in Spokane, Wa. I'm 6ft 185lbs 37year old expert looking at a more fun soft snow ski than my 177cm Mantra. Obsethed, Czar, Hellbent? Tried Gotoma's last year and thought they were too stiff to be a good powder ski. Ski alot of soft bumps and tight trees, does the 179cm seem to short for me. 189cm seems like alot of ski to swing around. Anybody compared the Czar to the Obsethed? Can't demo anything up here so looking to pick a good one! Thanks

Try the new black diamond megawatt if you don't have a need for a twin tip. Super Duper fun powder ski with an early ride tip (front rocker). Very very very easy to throw around in the pow, read the reviews and check out the skis.http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD1152/Black-Diamond-Megawatt-Ski-08-09-Model.html
