I'm 5'9" 165lbs need a ski fr like 75% park, 25% everything else, getting back to skiing and was thinking of some twin tips. i have been snowboarding for the past 5 years, and wanted to switch 2 years ago to skiing until i got new equipment.
here's a list i hav considered so far
These are what i had in mind, that i found online cheap:
1. K2 Fujative in 169cm
2. K2 Public Enemy 169/174 cm
3. Salomon 1080 Flyer 171 cm
4. Armada El Rey 171 cm
5. Line Invader
For bindings i was thinking maybe some Look PX 12. I'm really digging those. any other recommendations.

go with the tm's. i switched over from boarding about 2 years ago and picked up a pair of those. i live on the east coast and i can't really complain about how they worked skiing through all the crud. also worked great in the park, mostly in the pipe. it was a great first ski for me

fujis are aweful outside the park tho, super soft

I would go with those Troublemakers the guy is selling if they are in decent shape.

if you mean the 06/07s ( the ones that are black and white , and say Armada in red) They definitely have metal edges. All alpine skis have metal edges, umless they are ripped out from use.
All times are Eastern (-5)
