I'm questioning my choice of the Salomon Lord for a Slackcountry...

By Ranked #440 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis March 7, 2009

I'm questioning my choice of the Salomon Lord for a Slackcountry ski. I have it set up with Baron's, and I find that it doesn't float enough and wants to carve instead of surf like my Rockers. Will the Verdict be better for powder while still retaining some hard snow performance? Right now, the Lord's are almost TOO good on the groomers, but not good enough in pow. I want something with less sidecut and less camber, but still capable of carving a turn. Is this ski I'm searching for the Verdict? Or should I be looking for something like a Line Prophet 100, Scott P4, or something else?I am 200lbs, 6' tall and would be using Baron's on the new skis. Right now I use alpine boots with my Baron's, but I'm in the market for some AT boots because skinning on flat terrain with alpine boots is a huge PITA (going uphill is fine).Help?

The Verdict is a sick ski and would be great!
