I am thinking of asking for new skis for Christmas, probably a beginner freestyle ski (or just one that is not to expensive) but i have some questions.
1. Are there any companies that just aren't great at making freestyle skis? This would help narrow down the search
2. I have been told(by my cousin) that the combo skis, for freestyle and downhill, are not great, and that i should just have a strict park ski, and another pair for downhill. is this true? because it would be nice to have an all-in-one ski.
3. are these companies like 4Frnt, that seem to be more independent, but also more expensive, worth the money. or is sticking with companies like K2 and Rossi the best bet.
4. Are there certain skis that fair better in Northeast Conditions. By Northeast conditions i mean, lack of powder, alot of man-made snow... ice and crust.
if anyone can answer these.. that would be great.
