Okay well I'm going to get my first pair of twin-tip skis. well actually my first pair of skis ever. I've skied before, did snowboarding, did a year of skiboarding last year, but i want more so i'm moving up to a twin-tip ski.

Since i'm just getting started I do not want to spend too much money, because I do not even know how often I will get to the slopes. But i'de like to spend about 200 to 250 on the skis and 100 on the bindings.

I'm going to the Ottawa ski show this weekend and if i don't find a good deal their I might just buy some from a big sports store. at sportmart and sportschek they have these skis for sale.

Rossignol Freez B2 for $200
Rossignol Watts 3 Twin Tip for $190
Salomon Verse 3 TX for $250 (are the verse even twin tip?)
and the Tecno Pro FT 5 Twin for $200

so does anyone have a suggestion on which would be good for me or experience with these skis?
thanks!

sounds like me, so ill just tell u what i got. I got a cheap pair of 2001 1080's offve ebay for $274. They were 161's cuz i figuered id want sumthing shorter cuz of snowblades. I got new salomon S912TI Fizzes. mounted +1 from the line. and i got the Nordica S6's. ther sweet, pimping red man. So maybe sumthing along those lines. Just u prob might want a higer din, like 12 or 14 depending on how heavy u are. cuz ur used to the blade bindings. IDK, its really all personal preference. To each his own....
