My 1260s are pretty beat up, messed edges bindings riped out, all that good stuff. Last season i found my self in the trees, steeps, and powder alot mroe thne the park. Im looking for a ski that would handle great in the trees and powder and grommers, but also pretty good in the park. Im still keeping my 1260s for rails and stuff so i would you that if i was gonna go park only. I mostly care about the powder and "backcounty" ability of the new skis. I was thinking somthing liek the chronic wide. Any other suggestions, not to expensive now, and im also looking for bindings to.

Im 5'10 and 190 pounds.

who makes karmas anf foils, i havent been on here much lately to know about smaller companies.

The surface skis look sick but a little to much.

volkl makes the karma and salomon makes the foil not really "small" companies.

you should try to pick up a freeskier buyer guide or something like that, give you a idea what's out there.
