I'm thinking either the triplets or something salomon. If anyone has any expireince with either ski and any info/opinion it would be MUCH APPRECIATED.

Why Salomons or Triplets, I am not saying that these are bad skis I am just asking you why you want eather of those two. And it would also Help to know what you plan on skiing where you plan on skiing and how many times you are hopeing to use them.

dont get atomic, they are known for shitty edges. thats why they give you 3 with the triplets so you cant warrenty them as fast

where will you be skiing, (ie what mountain/reagion) and how many times a week/year? are you planing any trips or day where you will be skiing alot of pow? When I decide on skis I find out as much as I can before hand about as many skis as I can and then I figure out what I will be skiing mostly where I will bew skiing and how many days I will be skiing there come up with a points system with points being taken away for being to exspansive and other things, find out which ski scores higher and then throw it all away and go with which ever ski has the best graphics because honistly that is 90% of how you find a good ski, you do the skiing and it does the talking.

i tend to just test them out. befriend people with the skis that you are looking at, or demo the. but you can never go wrong with just getting a solid pair of skis.

since you ski so much park triplets, symetrical skis are definately gonna be the new thing for park skiing, it makes so much sense. and the new triplets have totally new sandwich construction so ignore what people are saying about the quality.
