I'd been looking at the Rossi Koopman, Saloman Czar, & Obsethed but after a day skiing with a buddy sporting Hellbents I'm thinking of going fatter. I'm looking for a backcountry/resort bowls/touring setup and am planning on matching thses with marker barons. I weigh 150 and am 6', currently have head mojo 90 at 183cm and love them but want alot more float!

Man, I've already told you my opinion on the others, but I'll give you mine on this ski too. If you love the steep techy terrain like you said, and want to step it up to a wider ski, this ski is perfect. I have skied it in the trees, and they kinda make tight tree lines tighter, but nothing bad, and they destroy open bowls. As a touring ski, they are on the heavy side of things, but I know some guys that pull it off well. This will give you all that extra float you are looking for dude.
