So, I went to my local ski shop today for their pre-season sale. They have really good deals on the previous year's gear, and that's how I got such a good deal on the skis I'm riding now. So, my options this year are last year's Chronics, Invaders, Scratches, or Nothin' But Troubles. All for a good price. Should I go for one of those, or just spend the extra cash to buy this year's goods? And if I should go with one of those, which one? Thaaaaaaanks.

bobbyyyyyyy! i'm talking about ken jones. good sale right now. and you're right, i am more of an all mountain skier. one of the newer skis i was looking at is the new ar6, which is supposed to be a good all mountain ski as well. so you think scratches?

how a ski performs all mt is big for me, ive had 3 pairs of scratches because of how they perform on both all mt and park.  ive tried a bunch of others line, k2, ninthward, dynastar, soloman (sp that doesnt look right at all), and i still like my scratches, only skis i havent tried yet is armada so i cant speak for them
