I'm looking to buy new skis, but not sure which ones. I ski mostly all-mountain. I usually ski powder, trees, and lots of jumps. I don't ski park very much, like 15% of the time. I like to ski and land switch in pow. Also something that I can easily spin and do tricks with would be nice, and it has to be light. I narrowed it down to 3 skis, unless anybody thinks something else would be better: line prophet 80, chronics, or armada ar5. help me out

not ar5's I'd say chronic wide out of those 3. an ARV would be ideal.

i heard that the armada arv's are a little hard to control in chop. the people over at tramdock said the line prophets would be the best, so i think i'll go with those

get chronic wides, they will float better than prophet 80s because they are wider, and they are pretty light, and have a full twin tip so they will be better for jumping.

i think elizabeths are too wide for me. the skis i'm used to have about a 65 waist, but they do suck in pow. an 80mm waist should float alright though...

chronic wides rule in all conditions: chop, pow, and park.

I think you should get next years rossi race skis. They have great response that leads to nice clean arched turns.
