here is my review of the bushwacker

but to be honest with an 8.1 already in your Stable it would be kinda of Useless to not go up to at least 100mm underfoot. Its a great ski and back east is really nice because its quick enough underfoot, grips ice well enough, and despite not being a top surfing slaving machine it skis powder better than alot of bigger skis. I still think "the one" or the Nomad SFT will be the most fun for you though.

Liam I have skied the Gyspy. Skiershop has a pair of 190 for demo which I skied a couple times at stowe, and I got on pair of 180 out at Alta.  The Full Continuous low rise rocker is very much like a Volkl, which is a good thing for tree skiing. The low rise lets the entire edge engage on non 3d snow but it is never going confuse with a carving ski like a nomad SFT can. Its not hard to ski in any condition though and makes skiing tight places in the woods really fun.
