I'm in Europe-mid 40s 6foot 225pounds Advanced skier. Aggressive days are over, but enjoy guided backcountry challenges in Argentiere/La Grave/Alagna-Gressoney etc, plus some touring(did the Haute ROute 2yr ago and several day tours).ALso ski with family-groomers/itineries in resort. This year skied powder in Hokkaido, aim to ski CHile/Argentina/Kashmir off piste in future.Current set up is Dynastar Legend 8800 168cm with Fritschi binding. This brought mirth and laughter from the guides in Japan as they were floating on BIG fat skies, whilst I sank.So if I put Dynafit bindings on the 8800s and keep them for touring/resort skiing where do I go for the next ski?Dynastar Pro Riders, K2 Coombas and BD Megawatts have caught my eye, and all get rave reviews.Any advice most welcome please

All are good skis. For pure powder I would go with the Megawatts. The Pro Riders are big and stiff and like speed and big lines. The coombas fall somewhere in between but I wouldn't call them a pure powder ski. They really do it all.----I'd agree. The Dynastars demand an aggressive skiing style in order to perform, and the Coombas are only 102mm underfoot (compared to the Megawatt's 125mm). In powder the Megawatts truly shine, and the huge rocker tip makes them easy to turn. It sounds like they would be the best choice for you.
