BTW Something you might want to consider when looking at those figures, is the taper of the ski. That is, the difference between the tip, and tail width. More taper would be good in powder and makes a ski feel more controllable on the groomed, but is less helpful skiing backwards in the park. The specs you posted have a lot of taper.

i agree with the on piste comment-slalom skis obviously having the wider tail than a GS ski-my GS ones are practically straight! and skiing switch and jumping is better and easier with less sidecut

but in powder? i dont understand? why would more sidecut make it easier? you want the skis to work together in powder so surely you want a less violent turn and it be smoother with both feet?

if you weigh more than 85kgs id stay away from the punishers-i have used the 4frnt MSP all season as a free-ski ski and its amazing-solid as a rock andgood in powder.

decent in the park too but i had it in 187 so was a little long-maybe better in 181

they are 96mm at the waist so good for normal powder but prob still want wider for heli-skiing

no ideas sorry but i also i problem with my trousers-they are really ripped after this seasons fairly abusive use!

have heard you can seal them with wax-i have already asked about getting the stitched and cant

yeah the nikwax stuff-i have some peter north golf stuff and its decent so prob just as well to stick with that

im sure itll rain soon enough.........

"tech-wash" is pretty good, they do a wash in one and a re-waterproofing one

rossi scratch would be useless in powder-they are purely a park ski

if youre going heli skiing youd be better buying (or hiring) one of the ones you mentioned and just realising you wont take em in the park!

im jealous of the heliskiing!

to be honest i think you need to go thinner if you want something that will be any good in the park-both those skis are over 110 arent they? The armada arvs, atomic snoops or k2 kung fujas would maybe be better for both?
