Dynastar Huge Trouble Ski

Item #DYN0203 | 0 in Stock

I'm moving to Alaska and looking for a one quiver backcountry...

By Ranked #2065 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis April 4, 2009

I'm moving to Alaska and looking for a one quiver backcountry set-up. Leaning towards Gotamas with Barons. Demo'd both the goats and Rossi S6s. The S6s were fun, but the goats ripped--felt powerful, dampening, fast, and responsive. BUT I haven't been able to demo the Line Sir Francis Bacons or the Dynastar Huge Troubles. Has anyone had experience with these such that they can compare? (I'm 150, so I expect the 183 goats would have enough float for me in deep pow, but didn't try)

The Sir Francis Bacons are floppy and soft, and won't do well in variable conditions. If you are looking for a one ski quiver, I'd vote against the SFBs.

First off, the Big Trouble is a pretty good ski, but maybe not the same as the Gotama's. My personal favourite of the bunch you named is the SFB's, super playful and responsive. I feel that the 183 seems to be long for your size, it's a ski I would ride being 195, but that's up to you and extra float is always nice. Another suggestion for you is the K2 ObSethed, which is a really nice big mountain ski, my facourite of the season. It handles the deepest conditions I have ever skied, and rips steep lines. Just a extra option.
