I'm 6'6", 210 lbs, former racer (very aggressive) but not liking having to work as hard to turn these days. I do like to launch big airs though (10-40 ft.). I'm looking to buy a huge ski. I have the 09 Obsethed with a Duke for backcountry and love it, but want something to play with inbounds on powder days. Considering the ARGs, Hellbents, EP Pros and am open to suggestion. I do like the idea of the tapered tip and tail, and definitely want a rockered ski. Help! Also, what about the Line Prophet 130?

Whats up Aaron.. I would definitely demo before you buy. I am about the same size, 6'2" and 220. And I really liked the ARGs when I skied them, but they just weren't long or stiff enough for me to justify a purchase. I ski fairly fast and aggressive as well. I ended up getting some lotus 138s from DPS. They are the stiffer, meaner brother of the ARG. Other skis to consider are the 195 Praxis Pow, or Dynastar has a new ski coming out next year, the Big Dump. There are alot of choices out there, but most big pow skis are big limp noodles (hellbent, EP Pro, Pontoon) They are still fun for sure, but can get worked in chopped up snow. If you have never tried a reverse sidecut, reverse camber ski, I say go for it. Its insanely fun. Just try before you buy..
