Head Power ski & Hyper Carver advise needed.

[Sam Snead]

Lots of good deals at the moment -

I need a powder ski for those magnificant days at Whistler & the Interior of BC. My main ski is a 163 IC 160 per the skunkworks recommendations, however it does not quite cut it when the the soft stuff gets knee deep in the trees.

45 yrs. old 150lbs 5-8" ski 60+ days a year. Skill level - Dark Blue-Black student

164 cm M88 too much ski? I have tried to follow the threads and HH's advice on this matter - Would I be better served with a 170 cm M77? Please keep in mind I would use my ic160 for hard snow days.

Also, I read Harald's comments on putting students on jr. slalom skis to get really get that "carving feeling". Considering my size and skill level I have been thinking of getting a pair of kids SL 150 cm skiis for hard snow skill training. Thoughts/comments?

Thanks,
Paul
