Alright boys it's time for some new planks and i was planning on making an informed purchase of some moment skis.  I ski about 65% park and the rest of the time i shred the groomers.  The two skis i was looking at were the reno freebirds and the reno jibs. Which ones should i get? thanks fellas

i would say reno rocker. 92 underfoot will help with any pow stashes you may find while skiing on groomers and the rocker will help with both pow and butters

K... height weight ability etc?

What do you want in a ski? soft, stiff, narrow, fat, symmetrical?
where do you ski? whats your favorite band?

these are the questions you must answer to help ns give you an informed decision.

ahhh so clearly you are gay. SO maybe the Stiletto?

haha just kidding.

Jibs are sick, pretty good generic all around symmetric ski. Stiff, poppy, rips.
or

rockers... symmetric, soft, rockered, light light light. I live in the west, and they were great. But our snow is soft and we get a lot of it. There are reviews of both skis in the reviews section... always check that first. tons of info usually.

Reno Jibs or Reno Firebirds - Both are gonna be good for what you want just depends on if you want a better groomer ski or a better park ski.. both are going to handle the other well though.. the firebird comes in longer lengths if that matters
