alright check it, i have pe's right now, and i don't really like them that much... so i was wondering what would be a good ski to fit my needs.

-i really like to ski park, i hit huge booters, all sorts of boxes/rails
-i like to ski the slopes, trees, powder and whatnot, but not as much as i do park
-i go on urban sessions, but not very often
-i don't ski very much pipe

oh, and i'm 5'10 145lbs

what ski is right for me?

i love apple, lanks, skibum_, lucyford, dfresh, d-rocket, cko, nopoles, gustle, spokaneskier, plumpwonton, melvs, caden, freeskigrl24, mikee, wrightgirl, missy, jessbuff, seanpistol, doc.dre, dynstrtm, Spyderxtra789, schweitzerski, hey_cutie, almostaskiier, katesd, lateralis, eastcoastpride, ekunz, $bhill$, *jay*, t-schill, *pinkgrinder*, J.D._May, shorty_t, jib_tech, niwanyshyn, ever_murky, nsnski240 and the rest of you are a-holes. smiles :)) :)):): )):): :):))): :) :))

ok i see where your coming from now and ill recomend a few to you

Mothership flites 182- very soft ski, fun in the park, little soft on the bigger landings, extremely light for a fat ski, good float in pow. Bases are not all that durable, but the edges are good.

Seth Pistols 179- again soft ski, heavier than the flites, good float, stable on landings, extremely durable.

MSP 180-stiffer than the other two. really durable and compareable otherwise. More stable than the other two on big landings.

Make your choice, do you want a ski that is going to be nice and soft for doing butters or do you want a ski that is going to be stiff enough to stomp the big stuff. My personal recomendation is the pistols/seth viscous because they are a good balance for what it seems your looking for.

for all you saying 4frnt msp's, thats a little bit too much ski for this guy. I love them, but they are to stiff for park. I would recommend some chronics, or karmas
