Hey fellow new schoolers! I live in the midwest, but I go out west for about 3 weeks outta the year, otherwise i'm stuck skiing wisconsin and the UP. I need to get a new pair of skis, preferrably Line skis. I've been looking, and should I get Skogens or DarkSides?

yeah, if ur gonna get some lines i'd say skogens for the park because the darksides aren't true twins, they have 15mm's of tail, which isn't much at all for riding swich, but they look sweet, i've also heard from someone who has the skogens that they're really soft, u might want to talk to some people who ride them before u make a desission

RES!

darksides are the hottest ski i've ever seen....if i didn't have 1080's, they would be my 3rd choice, after Kneissl Supaflys

get the skogens. The new darksides have a very small twintip to improve all mountain riding.
