Good memory Jim. The Volant Chubbs and the Salomon Pocket Rockets are Peters choices for the easiest and softest powder skis. I owned a pair of Pocket Rockets and they are an incredibly forgiving ski. The problem is there isn't much there, there if you know what I mean. I think the bulk of the salomon free ride skis (85mm waist and above) are all pretty soft. As a rental for ones first days in powder and crud, it's a good choice. Anyone who has any technique will outgrow these skis awfully quick. I think the Atomic Sugar Daddies are known as a soifter and freindlier ski. The Fischer free ride line is quite user freindly IMO, and they are all sandwich construction skis with some real substance. I like the Atua's alot.

But I think Brussells 11 is intent on getting a midfat. Can you tell that some of us are not big fans of midfats?
