Perry, yes the Nomad SFT's for sure. That is really a fantastic ski. No tip dive, nice flex, very turnable in the trees. I would still like a 10/20 or close to that. It just helps out in really piled up irrelgular terrain and helps if there is some exposed or Ski snakes. ?As you can see, even with 111 underfoot, in ight powder, you are stilll really down in the powder so it helps to have that little extra float for trees and such. ?I actaully was traversing a line and it gave out under me, I sunk in about 4' and slid in to a little funnel. It took aobut 15 minutes to get out. Ira was below me about 30 yards so I was OK but when your skis get trapped under you in quick sand, its tiring digging out! We were dropping in from cat tracks into trees and hitting mid-thigh shots, not unusual to ski 1000 ft of untracked that day
