Im wondering wich one would be better for all mountain on the east coast. I hear they're both great skis, but which one is better for what im looking for? One thing I was looking at is the Karmas come in 185, while the PE's are 179, and im 6'3", 225 pounds. Would 185 karmas or 179 PE's fit me better?

for all mountain at your size the 185 karma's would rip. there fatter and stiffer.

Alright, that's what I was thinking too. Do you think I could get a good used pair of 06's for maybe $300 this spring? I don't think I can dish out the full $600 :P

No way man. There is too much demand for Karmas. They sold out last year when they were at full price. PE's really aren't TOO bad for all mountain. I skied my friends about a week ago, and they were fun to mess around with. Not ideal, but you can still have fun on them and they are half the price of the Karmas.

ar5's are good too. way better than PE's, but also expensive. they feel so much more lively than PE's and are a lot more fun.

either way Karma's in a 185 is going to be the best all mountain ski over anything anyone has listed....
finding them cheap is gonna be tough tho.

if your 225 lbs and rip, the PEs aren't going to be enough ski.

I weigh 160 and I doubt the 179 PE's would be enough ski for me. Definitely go with the Karmas, spending a little extra $ is worth it when you'll having fun skiing instead of being pissed off at your skis.
