If you like the sound of a powerful, responsive ski for making aggressive, high-angle carves on groomers (both short and long), you’ll like the Fischer Progressor 900.
The Salomon X-Drive 8.0 is a very substantial frontside carver that isn't out of place around the rest of the mountain, particularly when the snow isn't deep.
We've heaped a lot of praise on both the Supernatural 108 and the Cochise, so we spent several days A / B-ing the two skis at Taos—same runs, same conditions.

The Fischer Ranger Pro 13 Vacuum may have the most precise, snug, performance-oriented fit of any boot on the market while remaining genuinely comfortable, and offers outstanding downhill performance and feel, as a result.
The Governor and the Blizzard Bodacious are two of our favorite substantial, directional pow skis. Time for a 'Vs.' review. (And we throw in comparisons to a number of other skis, too.)
Update: The 4FRNT Devastator is one of the most stable, predictable skis we've tested in crud and variable conditions, and we've now put more time on it in soft chop and fresh powder.
