addicts should be good someone posted a thread to a place where you can get them for $399. They have edge reinforceing to. Then alot of people like the fujitives and K2 makes good edges. People seem to think the Invaders have had their problem fixed this year so you could go with those.

meh, the new ones' tails are stiffer, making the noses soft and the tails quite stiff (Im talking about the wood graphic ones compared to the Red original ones)

06 07 FUJATIVE IS THE SICKEST SKI. Good nose flex, wide enough for all terrains on the mountain

FICSHER ADDiCT = the best ski for the $$$$$$ no doubt!

Ninthward = only core company selling skis for under $500

05'-06' Armada = wicked cheap on ebay

the wood graphics are last years model, i think those are the ones hes talking bout. The 07 graphic is like a picasso type graphic. I checked them out in person yesterday and they are very nice. They have a nice width and flex nicely as well.

I know which ones are new... I was reffering to the soft Fujas vs the Stiffer Fujas (2 years ago and last year) this years arent very different...

Buy last years skis, seriously. I never buy skis the year they come out unless I get a sick deal of a lifetime (ex: scratch fs for 150)
