i already know that i'm gonna need another park/beat around ski for next winter. the reason isn't the important part, but what would be the best park ski for some one who's an aggressive all mountain skier who's progressing in park. i'm 5'7'' 140lb currently and i'd want a buttery smooth ski. so what would work and be the cheapest also the model year of the ski would matter cause that changes prices. thanks

You could probably find the 06 Dynastar TM's for pretty cheap. Great all mount, nice flex, awesome in the park.

get some fujis. seriously, you can get some of last season's fugis for super cheep. and they rock. super smooth, nice flex. blah blah all that jazz. i also LOVE my STLs super light, great flex, but..i haven't seen them as cheep as fujis.

Silencer.  Fujis are way to soft in the nose

no they don't. they lose their camber fast. the camber was basially gone after 10 days on mine. now after 15 one of theskis is reverse camber.

As an 'aggressive alpine skier' dont for gods sakes get the Fujis they are the softest skis going and the sidecut is weird for carving. Get PE, Scratch, Foil. Last seasons to get good price.

ya you prbly want a mid flexing ski considering yur coming from an agressive alpine skier, Scratches would be a good option, or Chronics.

Fujatives wont exactly kill it out of the park if you ski a lot of all mountain. Get Silencers, they are stiffer like the PEs so they will be a bit better all mountain, and the sidecut is a bit less park specific. I can guarentee you a ski like that will allow you to progress in the park as much as you need to. you dont want to go totally park specific because you will lose your all mountain abilities. If you could get a killer deal on scratches that would be the best, but silencers will do the job.

Why does everyone bum Fujatives. Ive got them and they're the worst ski Ive ever skied. Although are good for small/medium jibs.
