give it some time...people dont log in every day, keep bumping it to the top and if nothing shows up within like a week or two, then maybe no ones intereseted...you're still okay for now though, its been like 6 hrs

just buy something online. not from a person directly. there are a lot of skis that are this year or last years models that fit your specifications that you can buy new. and probably almost as cheap as on here.

yea, doesnt sound like much of a difference
but if you look at the overall dimensions and shapes of skis, you notice, i compared my thugs to prophet 90s, when writeen on paper or told, it doesnt sound like much of a difference, but once you see it and ski it
changes everything

if you dont think 10mm(1cm) is a big deal just think about it over the whole ski its really adds alot

i have the 179 Ak's and the 185 Steeze they are both pretty powder directional but the Ak's are way softer so if your looking for a soft pow ski those are ridiculous i love them and find them easy to use where ever although finding the Ak's may be tricky they sold pretty quick last year but you could probably find them online

what is with people and this huge ski trend

last year freeskier called the scratch bc wrs an awesome big mountain pow ski that could hit kickers like no other

this year, esentially the SAME ski , gets the review of  "not big enough to charge big mountain, but does well for an everyday all mountain ski" or some shit, how can it change THAT much in 1 year, this is rediculous, im gonna ski on some 190cm 75 underfoot straight skis just to spite anyone who licks this trends butthole, true fatter = more fun most of the time but skinnier = more face shots which = more braggin rights
