Replying to Buying my fisrt pair of skis.

Hello,

I'm thinking of buying my first pair of skis but I have absolutly no-idea which ones I should get, so if you could help me I'd realy appreaciate it! I'm 172cm in height and I weigh around 120lbs. For the past couple of years I've always been interested in doing some rails and stuff in the parks. However, I've only skied with alpine skis and have never had the chance to ride twin tips. Since I'm 15 soon turning 16, I can't realy afford anything that's top of the line (I can't go over $400 maybe at the very limit $500 including skis, bindings, boots and poles). I just need a pair of skis that suit my needs and that'll last for at least 2 or 3 years. I've been skiing since I was 4 so I'm not all that bad, as I said before I've never used any twin tips so it would be nice if someone could run me down on the main differences I'm going to notice while skiing with them.

Thanks in advance
