What skis to get

What would be a good twin tip ski for a beginner-intermediate freestyle rider. I need one that'll last and can ride big mountain and powder when there is some. I'm moving to the midwest in a couple days so I want one that would be good for urban rails to. I'm 6foot and 150 pounds. I was thinking the Line Mike Nicks, K2 Fujatives, Line 1260's, or the K2 P.E.'s.

the new volkl dogen's are awesome and will work well for you, they ride really nice and last forever, theyre bombproof, id stay away from from lines they dont ski that well

Get something cheap if your doing urban, so I'd suggest fujatives.

I'm moving to Illinois but I'm going to go back to Utah for two weeks and Washington for one every year till I graduate. So I want t good park ski but I want one tha can ride big mountain and powder when I need it to. I like the looks of the Mike Nicks anf the fujatives. Which one has the most pop and could the fujatives ride some big mountain powder good because I go to Utah in Dec. - Jan.

i would try to look into ninthward first bloods, moship flites, seth pistols, public enemy, or some scratch bcs. all these will work in the park and on the ice. check out d-structure they got some good deals on almost all of these

the fujatives are pretty good over all the waist is like 84 mm wide so thats decent for pow and good park ski no doubt and ive never even seen a mountain so i dont know about big mountain

people need to stop recommending Made'Ns to everyone. Made'ns should be like a secret weapon for highly advanced skiers who stop shit switch in powder, not ski 1 foot powder on the east coast. fools.

because I like poop.
