Powderhound Rules in Deep Powder

I bought the Powderhound and BMFR bindings for a cat skiing trip to BC in March. They were AMAZING. Such an upgrade over my other skis; 115 under foot with tech toe bindings. The skis performed great in the trees and were more stable than I expected at speed when skiing above tree line. Whatever you're skiing now, this setup is an upgrade, especially the bindings. For cat skiing the Bishop bindings are the way to go. No more scraping ice, no snow accumulation under the heel and it's amazingly easy to step in and out of them in deep snow. Plus I felt more comfortable with how beefy these bindings are compared to the mostly plastic tech toe bindings. You won't be disappointed with these in deep backcountry snow.

Most versitle nimble pow ski ever.Does it all.

Agent of Chaos, so much fun!

Have about 15 days on this ski out in Big Sky for the '24/'25 season. Some awesome powder days, some warmer days on corn, some choppy crud, some heavier slushy days. These skis do it all! With the short radius they roll from side to side effortlessly yet still float well in powder. They cut through crud well, turning easily around jumps and bumps and on groomers can carve pretty well too! The short radius and a softer build makes them a total Agent of Chaos, in a fun way! But, if you aren't on top of the ski and working your transitions they can be a tad unpredictable and catch you off guard, especially if you are used to the more standard 20-26m radius skis. Super fun when you work them, and if you are nice and loose you can choose to ride them or drive them as much as you like! They are a bit soft as a true all mountain ski, but I found myself reaching for these even on groomer days and just skiing a bit slower to compensate. I did have to try two different mounting positions. While I loved the responsiveness of the recommended boot center mount I found that I was getting too much tip dive in the powder. I moved the mounting position back a full two cm and found a sweet spot; great control, good edge to edge transitions and no more tip dive. Finally, a single improvement I would like to ski for the next season: a bit more curve upwards at the tip could promote better float.
