i know there have been plenty of threads about new skis but nothing with real information about them. i need to get some new twins this year and i havent been able to make a dissision about what skis to get. i am 6' 140lbs. and looking at getting a ski that is around a 175-180 ski. anyone have some suggestions on what to get. not just names of skis but evidence as to why the ski is good

are you gonna ski park or pow...makes a big difference. and for your height you should get about a 175 or bigger.

im 6'3, 150, and i got the 180 v-expressions cuz all i can really ski around here is park, but i dont know what to reccomend to you cuz i dont know what your needs are.

alright the volkls are all very sturdy skis that flex relatively well, but they also are stiff, with wood cores as far as i know. so chances are they wont break on you, ever. i like the graphics, and i dont know what else to say, xcept that i reccomend volkl twins.

and when you ski by those people and never see them again, this minor detail will probably not cross your mind again.
