Alright, here's my dilemma.

I ski on the east coast, mainly at wildcat mountain. So powder isn't really abundant here.
I am a very very aggressive skier. Love runs through the trees, and I mean tight tight trees with rock drops and shit. However, I also enjoy spending some time in the park and all over the mountain. I would say i am 65% tree skier, 25% park skier, and 10%all mountain.

I am 165 lbs, currently skiing Line Mike Nicks, which I thought were very shitty.

I'm looking for a ski from a more established company (K2, Dynastar, Salomon, Rossignol, Volkl, Atomic, etc.) because I trust their product more.

I have been looking at some Bandit b3 and b4s, Salomon Guns, K2 Seth Vicious, Volkl Mantras.

What would be my best bet?

Dynastar Legend 8800 or 8000 are sweet all mountain skis.
8800 - 89 underfoot
8000 - 79 underfoot

I'm a big fan of K2 skis, but if you're not skiing much powder, I would go with Public Enemy's instead of Seth Vicious'.

Not as established as the companies I listed. And also, I posted about me having mike nicks now, and I think they are super shitty skis. I don't like Line skis

You're the first I've heard complain about LINE skis. I've heard rumblings about the reactor bindings but nothing bad about the skis. What is so bad about yours?

I don't know if it will help, but I just sent a message to the Midwest Territory LINE rep with the link to this thread. Maybe he will respond, then again maybe not.

Nope. Public Enemies are the perfect ski for you!
