I am just getting into the sport of freestyle skiing. Hopefully will be training this summer, but in the meantime, that means demo'ing skis at the local mountains. What are the best skis to buy/try and a beginner level. Price is also a factor.

for beginner skis id have to go with the 1080, or the thruster or w.e is now. it served me very well, and is a nice light ski to learn to spin with. other than that it really depends on what kind of flex you like, i really like a soft flex so i ski invaders, and i love em. If you have heard about all the problems with them, they are warrentying any pair sent to them (heard this from one of their sponsored dudes) so buy line cuz they actually help out.


anyways so either the salomon or the lines, line u can see at www.lineskis.com

Yeah i have heard about the 1080's and the fujatives, aswell as the Public Enemy.

Are these skis also descent for regular downhill skiing, or are they for park skiing only. I know that most ski companies make a Powder, Park, and general freestyle ski. I would prefer something that i can use on all terrain, rather then only being able to use it for the park.

Of coure, if i dont sell the atomics i have now, ill get a strictly park ski, so I have two pais of skis, for different things.
