Davis, if you’re of average size in stature and weight, sure. But depending on what you mean by “aggressive” you might want to size up.

Lou, great answers…
Quick question…. I’m all backcountry, many laps and steep. Can a 175 Justice handle some 10-15 foot drops and also alot of aggressive skiing. I can get a good deal on 175′s but don’t want to make a hasty decision.

If this is a “purely” powder backcountry ski, for human powered skiing, I’d suggest Kilowatt.

I am deciding between Verdicts 190 or Kilowats 185. I am 6 foot and 190-195…I have a resort set up, but now I want to get into AT. I ski fast and aggressive in the resort, but never been in the BC. Which ski would you go with, since they will be purely used for powder BC. I’d rather have a the more proper ski than the one easier to learn on…

hi Lou
is using kilowatt with dukes mostly for BC too brutal?:)
if terrain is steeper i just put those skis on my backpack and keep walking:)
in a way down i can be sure i can rely on this binding
i dont do any huge clif drops but ski agressivelly.. well i enjoy slow riding aswell
but why is the dynafit tlt vertical ft 12 so expensive?:)
