I'm 6'0", 195lbs and ski Invaders as my park/screw around ski, but with you having a racing background, you may want to find a stiffer ski as you'll find yourself overpowering the Invaders.

Try to find a new older Rossi Scratch FS for a good price. I think you'd like the feel of it with your background.

ha, wierd. I was just looking at them a few minutes ago. if you want them they're $369 right now too at evogear.com

volkls are stiff skis so they'd be a good cross over ski if you've never had a pair of twin tips. Especially for someone your size (no pun intended)

I was thinking Volkl's would fit well to, but have not been up on the current volkl line-up enough to say.

f you are coming from race skis, get a stiffer twin or it will feel like a noodle to you. I wouldn't go softer than a Chronic, which coming from Racetigers may still feel floppy. As stated above the Volkl stuff would IMO fit you best.

line anthems or blends. anthem are soft and buttery and blends charge and stomp cliffs like cake. Make sure you get something 90 or above in the waist, after skiing on race skis they will blow your mind in the powder

I'm pretty sure your confused on what a pun is.
Its a play on words i.e. an expression that uses the ambiguity of a word to achieve emphasis or humour. So where in your statment was there any pun

Alright, you want me to admit it? it wasn't a pun.  i was high and couldn't think of another word other than "pun" to describe what i said so that I wouldn't sound like an asshole by calling him big. Iinstead some asshole (yourself) had to call me on it and be a smartass.




back on topic. go for those volkls on sale i mentinoed if you can afford it. i love volkls and i don't weigh shit.
