Atomic skis

I can get half off any atomic ski's which one do you think would work most for me.

I ride 100% percent park except on pow days. I know that park skis would work great for me in pow since my thrusters did.

So what seems best pimps, urban punx, punx or twins?

Thanks,
Jake

well i guess it depends on your size and weight.. if you are big enough to throw around pimps in the park.. if you think that wont be a problem then i would go for them because they will be a million times better in the pow than punx.. punx are even narrower than your thrusters and probably worse in pow.. i would discount the twins and urban punx straight away.. the punx however have that rail reinforcement thing which might be good for you if you ski loads of rails.. if you get 50% of could you afford two pairs one for park and one for pow?

well your weight and height are a big factor hear beacause the Punx are as soft or softer than the Invaders and the twins are like that too.. and i think the urban punx are just a stiffer skinnier model of the punx. and i have no clue what the pimp is like..

but i personally highly recommend the punx a fun ski if your skiing 100% park

punx are not narrower than thrusters but oh well.\

so this is what happened to me, im not a big guy, 5'8, 140ish, and i am hooked up with atomic, so i've been on urban punx for the last two seasons. then my 09 urbans got stolen out of my staff locker, so i grabbed a pair of 08 pimps. they are fucking sick!!!

i feel little to no difference in the park, but on groomers and pow theyre way more fun and slashy. the only thing i notice is that theyre not as soft but pretty much just have to break them in and theyre awesome.

actually they are.. last years thrusters were 117 - 83 - 110 and punx are 111 - 82 -111 .. but it's as near as makes no difference.. other than that i agree with you.. i'm your size and i would go for pimps too.. unless i skied lots of rails.. and to the other guy.. punx are stiffer than urbans.. at least this year anyway..

5ft1 is 155 cm and so i guess you would be on 155 punx or 158 urbans.. they dont make pimps anywhere near small enough.. 174 is the shortest.. if you are going to grow alot, you might get away with 164 punx and grow in to them.. depends what you want.. i would go for punx over urbans and so.. 155 would be perfect now, but you will grow out of them, 164 is a bit long now but should last you 2-3 seasons size wise..
