i've done a bunch of research and been to my local shop and i still just cant seem to decide what setup i shoudl be rocking this year for many different reasons. so i'd like your input, heres a list of the setups i have in mind, i ski about 50%park and about 50% all mountain(groomers, bumps, trees and pow when i can) i live in the east so ice and shit snow is a factor, also i'm about 5' 8" and 150lbs

1. 1080 Foil 174 and 1080 or Xwave 8 free boots- i get em cheap around 850-950 w/binders

2. PE 174s with Xwave 8 free boots around 1300 w/bindings

3. Fugative 179s with 1080 boots, around 1200 w/bindings

4. armada ar5 in a 176 with either boot around 1300 w/bindings


thats what i've narrowed it down to and i need some help, and this shold be in equpiment probubly but it'll get more hits here

actually 2 3 or 4 is all good. so just go based on price

the foils have a huge nose, not really good for east coast. but i ski the poconos. if you mean east coast like VT and NY, then go for the foil.

why not the invaders? they are cheaper and will more than do you for east coast. They are the best ski i've ever owned. stay away from salomon, the edges fall right off and if your true east coast you spend a lot of time on rails

Want stickers that still look great after a day on the hills?

How do you get these numbers.
Fujatives=300
1080=400
bindings=200
That is 900. 1200 is a rip off and I would suggest more shopping.

The Foils are your best choice if you ski everywhere: park, backcountry, pow, broom or whatever. i love mine.
