will you be doing any park?

if not, the public enemy is a real good new engand icy groomer ski that is fat enough for the occasional powder. they're real stiff and stable, but a little too heavy if you're doing mostly park though. if you think you'll be skiing in the park more then the walls would be good, but i can't say much cause i've never skied them.
