ok so i skied from the time i was 3 till when i was 9 then i went to snowboarding, now i feel that i was better suited for skiing (i am not saying snowboarding sucks although many people do feel that way on this site). i have skied some this year and feel like i will pick it up really quickly. i built a small backyard jump and after 2 days i can land really penciled threes with no air. All my friends are skiers and i now a lot of the technique. so what i am looking for is a sollid park ski that is good for all mountain and has good duribility (i will probably ben on my edges on rails a lot) full twin is best but i also need it pritty cheep.
anysuggestions?

you can't really beat fugitives or Public Enemys for the price, you know? Scratches are also cheap but good, but they are kind of noodley(in my opinion). If you like stiff, go for a PE or maybe a tweak, if you like soft go for the Fugitives, then Scratch FS

two words: more expensive. The guy need stuff cheap for now. You can get a pair of fugitives for half the price of chronics :)

You can get any thing really this time of year get like something better since the prices are so good now from this past year rather then waiting for some of next years low end models. check out some of the online sites there are some killer deals on fujitives and PE;'s at like REI and backcountry.com just pick something like them up and go rip it up the rest of this year and next year.

^^ brand new chronics on ebay for $299.

fujatives are good also. but, if you want a ski that works well all over the mountain consider the public enemy. if you look around you can get them for $250. thats about it for the cheap skis.

I might sell you some fujiatives I bought from Backcountry, for the same price I bought them for.

fujatives aren't a good all mountain ski at all. Public enemies are though.

The public Enemy fits all your needs, plus its a sick looking ski. Check around in some sites, at this time of year theres some sick deals out there.

look at the assassins,and the assassin MTX's i have them and they are really nice for park/all mtn...but the only thing is they wouldnt be to good on rails cause there bases are kinda thin but they are very sturdy and not a full twin but ride great switch....but PE's might be ur best bet

I have 11 other twin tips and my Line Chronics are the best ski out of all of them. The best park/ all mountain out their. Also I beat the shit out of mine and the base and edges are barely worn out. GREAT DURABILITY, GREAT PARK SKI, AND GREAT ALLMOUNTAIN. Buy the LINE Chronics and Allways buy LINE SKIS BECAUSE SKIING NEEDS A FUTURE!!!
