BEST All-Mountain Ski I've found

By Ranked #83 - Alpine Fat Skis December 15, 2008

I've done a lot of demoing of mid-fats and fat skis over the past couple years. I'm a very aggressive skier and typically spend about 40% off piste, 60% on. These skis truly defined versatility for me. They drive through crud, effortlessly float powder, and love to throw down GS turns on the groomers. I've taken them through trees, steeps, powder bowls, hucked cliffs, and even skied moguls. I've felt nothing but love for these skis. I ski mainly in California and would say that you might want something a little fatter in the lighter CO/UT pow, but this is a great every day ski for Mammoth or Tahoe. Can't go wrong if you're looking for a one ski quiver. For a sick setup mount the Marker Jester (Big-Mountain freeskiing) or Duke(AT).
