Say, someone has bribed people to extreme levels and you're on the Freeride World Tour.
Which ski do you pick for the competition?
For me: Blizzard Rustler 11.

Which FWT ski would you pick?

FIS SL ski because this is skitalk…
that or a Pro Rider @ 192.

If actual me is going to get thrown on to the Bec I want a ski I am 100% comfortable skiing, so my Moment Wildcat 108s even if they are not what the FWT pros ski. If I get Max Hitzig's skills to go along with my new skis then probably the Sender Free 110 or the Mindbender 116C.
Declivity X last season version would be a good choice. It is like a SR 115 with almost as high a speed limit and a more modern tip rocker shape. The next time a Stormrider over 110mm is made, I'll go with that. Nothing like no speed limit across garbage snow to stomp a line.

The OG Fischer Ranger 115 XTi. Supposedly nicknamed "The Truth" in the 190+ cm pro length as in "You can't handle the truth". Well, I did for a few seasons at 188 cm then I aged out and sold it.
I don't know... Which ski would let me side-slip the steeps and go around the cliffs the best?
Enforcer 115
Same!
Blizzard Bodacious, either the first, or last priduction year.
I have a pair of salomon qst 106 which I love and was surprised to find are in the fwt.
Could you share more about your experiences on the Declivity X? I have the 185cm version and can't figure out if I like it or not. All I know so far is I feel like a superhero on them in a straight line and stuggle a bit in trees.

You mean the ski is overwhelmed by conditions and terrain. Think East Ridge at Abasin but make it much steeper and add a lot more rocks.
Look at Blizzard of Ah’s and Scot Schmidt in the Poubelle Couloir. Underwhelming by today’s standards.
I have 2 skis used on the FWT -> Dancer 3 188 and Sender Free 191. Really like both of them...the Sender is a bit more damp and easier for me to bash through crud. The dancer on the other hand is a lighter swing weight and is easier to snake through a questionable area. If the comp area was more soft / has fresh snow, I'd pick the sender. If its been a few days since the last snow fall....Dancer
Yes, wrong ski. His skiing was underwhelming to me, as a result. Maybe reminds me of myself, how I'd do on better skis,
if I was nuts enough.
Drew Tabke was/is on the Praxis GPOs when he was winning (or finishing high up in) those extreme ski world championships.
There were a lot of videos of him on similar terrain, including his winning runs. What a contrast.
