    I'm guessing my very favorite powder-specific ski would be one from the group below, but I don't know which one---I've never tried any of them. Demoing these is easier said than done. Affording these is easier said than done. Frequent access to pow/terrain/visibility worthy of these skis is easier said than done.

    DPS 202cm Lotus 138 Flex=3
    Capital 193cm G-funkenstein stiff
    Birdos 195cm Elevens stiff
    Praxis 195cm Powder skis
    Unity Hiatt 191cm
    .

    it all depends on what you want.

    a ski to stomp big air into pow?
    a ski to float the best and make a little snow ride like alot of snow?
    a ski to slay it in deep pow/trees?

    what type of pow? heavier west coast pow? super light continental blower?
