The PEs would proly be a good bet, from everything I've read they are made for the same shit as the Foils, but I'm guessing they may be a bit heavier, can anybody confirm that? You could also try to find an old pair of 1080s, but the all mountain performance may not be as good as the Foils since they are more of a park ski. I dont know how wide of a ski you need, or if you can wait, but I'm guessing the Silencers will go for next to nothing when the next years models come out. I'm counting on getting a pair of those cheap if my urban skis go on me.

they are heavier, but perfect for beaters cuz they are bomb proof.
