I have noticed that alot of people are posting comments on how terrible the skis graphics are and how they wouldnt get it. Is this really that important? Sure, if it was totally terrible, embarresing and disgusting i wouldnt get it. but it it was simple or different, I dont think it would matter, as long as the ski has good performance and is durable, i would buy it.

Does the graphic really make your decision on the ski your buying?

My favorite pair of skis to ride look like a pair of orange creamcicles, so I'd say graphics don't matter a whole lot to me.  If the skiing's good you don't even see your skis anyway.  The kids who care about how their skis look are probably the same ones that have to have the coolest new outfit every year.

0% graphics, i would definitaly go for any ski no matter the colors, to my it is like the color of a car, you cant see it when yourr drivin, why would you look down to watch you skis. tech is 100% WHAT I look at.

btw anyone know where i can get some lime green w/ hot pink bases?

id say graphics are about 50% of my purchase decision. each company makes a park specific ski. if one has really gay graphics ill just get another companies with sick graphics that i want to try.

i will ski the ski shitty graphic or not, but a tight graphic is always a nice touch to have. But if you buy a ski purley on the graphics that sucks, i'm sure you have the all white suite to match.

yeah how the ski feels is most important, and if you really hate them then get some paint and make your own

im not saying that graphics dont influence me. when i bought this years prohpets, i had a choice to make over them and the chrinic blends, i liked the graphics on the blends more but i never really thought of the graphics on the prophet until i actually had them in my hand.
graphics are about 15% of my decision on when i buy skis
