I need skis for 05/06 winter.

I'm new to freeskiing and I'd like to use them in BC as well as Snow park conditions.

Is there any good skis you can recommend me ?

cool, it's almost set

I'll go with the Fujatives, but is it good if I want to go BC -and- Snowpark ?

'think I'll buy 1080 foil boots with Scratch 120 bingings.

yeah the 1080 boots are ok, and the bindings are sick, scratch bindings are so reliable, and Fujatives are good...just look see how much different Scrath FS are in price? they could be better for Snow Park conditions

the tm is the best performance ski uve named so far. (notice i didnt say all-mtn). just dont do 2 many rails w/ the ski, b/c the edges are notoriously weaker than others. although tm edges are easier to repair.

You can find some nice deals on NS, I'd look around here before investing a huge amount of money.

hmmm u should check ur prices, i can get them for cheaper in australia than what u mentioned, and that shouldn't be rite..
But if price is not a concern, the Fs would probably be better, i liked it more than the Fuji when i skiied it, it will last longer if ur doing rails and what not.
Dyna TM's are great skis, except their edges do not hold up so well if ur a fan of rails, but for everything else they are good
