I am currently in the market for a new pair of twin tips and I am wondering what to look for in a good pair of skis. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Graphics, demensions, and stiffness. You have to like what the ski looks like, it has to be wide enough underfoot for landing but not too wide. Make sure it still rides the pipe well. And if the ski isn't stiff enough for you it will washout on backseaters or just in general. the scratch, or the new teneighty are good choices.

Don't forget price, durability, and weight!

Its kinda like pissin on the guy in the stall next to you, just to see if he notices, or pissin on a proper female at a party, or even pissin in some dudes butt in the shower. We've all done it for fun. -lokash

first twin tips, then length, then graphics, then fatness, and then durability, cause in most cases you can get your skis replaced if you break them

thats dumb, you dont wanna ski thats not durable coz what if it just gets soft really soon but doesnt snap, then your fucked, plus if it does it's a hassle to get new skis.
