if you are goin for freestyle go with the chronic they are a better park ski than the assasin and are still good all mountain and powder

you want something in the 170-175 range, and prolly something suited towards an all mtn ski. personally i think some good choice might be 174 Public Enemy. other good choices might be 176 AR5, 177 chronic wides, possibly the new Madtrix replacements.

dude the invader is a new ski but plenty of people have skiied it and know stuff about it. if you are skiing all park get invaders. they are really fun to ski on cause they are so soft. they work fine on groomers too. if your gonna get invaders get 178

He's 6 ft, and is gonna be skiing Park City, I'm thinking your gonna want at least 180's, since you rent 180's anyway, you'll be fine.

if you want the chronic go with the biggest size. there's absolutely no reason for you to have a ski less than 175cm, twin tip or not.

the assasin is an all mountain ski, its got inserts placed further back, not in the middle... where you should mount your bindings for park & freestyle.
go with this season's chronics if your looking for park and a good all around ski or get the invaider if you want a great park ski.

gwt some fujatives, invaders, or something good but not the most expensive if your just barely starting. Plus you wont feel like your getting crappy stuff cuz pep ride the fujatives(since they're his pro model) and a ton of people are rockin the invaders
