That'd be another great choice if you're OK with a Originally Posted by gman Join Date Feb Posts I used to ski Alta on metal Katanas cm and Rossi Sickles cm. Floats pretty well but more importantly crushes deep chop and is still is surprisingly dynamic when carving 2D snow if you encounter it. And I agree with those posts above: ski weight is probably your friend if your goal is to ski Alta at high speeds bell to bell on those deep LCC days. I have to work a lot harder to keep my Bentchetler s tracking straight through resort chop in the second half of a Wasatch resort pow day than my Black Ops If you are willing to switch out skis midday at the Collins base on the really deep days, then you might choose differently….
I'll vouch for a lighter ski at Alta on deep days. I am always sidestepping and hiking all over the place and lighter gear makes it easier to hike up for another run off High Greeley or the backside. Having a ski that is not extremely wide makes the sidesteps more pleasant, and it makes the afternoon scraped off chokes in Eagles Nest more manageable.
Only had my Mindbender s out a couple days but seem pretty versatile, light, and were pretty fun and easy going. I could get on them too. Seems like a ski that would be good all day and not punish you at the end of the day for being lazy. Someone mentioned Ripstick s upthread. Big shovel and a decent backbone. If I could only have one ski for everything, might be these.

I'm 71, 6' , slow, and find it very easy to ski, even in soft bumps and trees. If you like the Automatic you should be careful about going to more of a charger. Have you considered the Atomic Backland I believe it's a lighter version of the old Automatic. Haven't skied it myself. For me they do well enough as an all day Alta pow ski, but I also have Cease and Desists for those mornings when 20" drop overnight.
To me the DWs shine the day after the storm. Plenty of edge grip for groomers, very manuervable in bumps and steeps while still holding their own in untracked pockets. I feel like a broken record on these forums, or a Dynastar fanboy, and maybe I am; but the Mfree is a stellar ski for Snowbird and Alta. My experience both with old sloppy seconds and with fresh snow at both places made me appreciate the MF even more.
Go into the Dynastar thread if you want some more propaganda to support the MF groupthink. Originally Posted by DarthMarkus.

They are just too soft for me. Originally Posted by Falcon3. Page 2 of 3 First 1 2 3 Last Jump to page:. Bookmarks Bookmarks Digg del. The Stash Upload Your Own:. Featured Trip Report. All times are GMT The time now is AM.
