Replying to Help! 2008 Armada Pipe Cleaners Problem!

Sooo, I've never gotten any of my ski stuff paid for by my rents. Well this year, I picked my beaten ARWs off the ground in my room before a day of shredding, and the binding fell off.

I ski everyday (park crew and ski instructor), so I kinda needed a new pair of skis. I decided to bring up the subject with the rents, and ask for a cheap pair for xmas. They told me to write down skis that I wanted and bindings and maybe I'll get something. So I did.

I wrote down fujatives, silencers, a pair of last years AR6s I found, and the thrusters. Oh, and I snuck in the pipe cleaners kind of as a joke/stretch.


Welllll what do you know. They bought me the pipe cleaners. They aren't mounted yet, and they bought them at this shop we always go to. So here's my problem..

1. I feel bad having such nice skis and using them at such a shitty ass mountain
2. I keep hearing of their comp (racing) base, and how soft it is. Yes, I'm a girl, but no, I'm not small. I'm 5'10" and weigh 135
3. All I hit are rails. Hardly ever pipe, hardly ever jumps. I just love rails (oh gosh sexual innuendo)


Since I'm not that small, will these bases get fucked from me hitting rails? Will it really be that terrible? And is it worth keeping these, when I would downgrade to a fujative? I can easily go to the shop and switch them with a different ski.
