Salomon Gun Ski

I am an intermediate tele skier and I am looking for a new ski....

By Ranked #290 - Alpine Fat Skis February 28, 2009

I am an intermediate tele skier and I am looking for a new ski. 3 skis have been recommended to me, the Salomon Gun, the Line Prophet and the Rossignol s6. I am 5'6", 135 lbs and I currently ski a 160 Karhu Jil but I think it is time to kick it up a notch. I mostly ski the heavy cottage cheese snow in Juneau's backcountry but I will also ski the resort on the nasty days. Any recommendations between the three?

Hi there Liz! Silly girl, you didn't ask me, and you posted a question like this to backcountry.com? Seriously girl, I'm the one who got you to wear your boards on the right feet, and you dis me like this? ;) If you're looking for anything new this next year, I highly recommend the Volkl Aura or Kiku. By the way, you're an advanced skier now, and no longer an intermediate. Let me know when you get back to town--August starts tomorrow, and that's a whole new month to ski in!
