Read and watched all the Essentials Ripstick/Black reviews. I have a pair of 19-20 reg green 96's and am wondering about new blacks in the powder. As an all mt. ski how are they in the 4-6-8-10 inch days and in the open areas and in the trees? Very few comments on off piste characteristics. Love my greenies inthe powder and trees. Like the reviews etc. but are they bettter in the "variable snow and powder of different depths" ?
