So I thought I'd ask a bunch of badass skiers about what skis to get... I am 5'2 (short, I know) and I want a good all mountian ski. I got into park last year, but I don't know how much I am going to ride park this year. I am having trouble deciding between the PE's and Fischer Rx8. I have heard good shit about both skis but PE's are twin tipped and fischer is not. So anyone want to help

Friends, skis, and a clear concience are the most choice companions.

twins are good to have even if you aren't a park rat, just so you can have the ability to go in the park if you feel like it. i ski the whole mountain, but i like park on shitty snow days and i also ride with only snowboarders so going in the park is part of the day a lot of the time.....if the two skis you're looking at are a PE and a fischer, maybe you should check out fischers twins--the NTs. In my humble opinion they are a great all around ski that happens to be twinned.....plus this years graphics are dope

i think twins are easyer for all mountian cause you can slide the back end of the ski into a turn easyier
