I am in need of skis for the 09 season and am torn between which ones to buy. For the most part, i ski up in north idaho (Schweitzer) which gets decent POW and has a pretty good park scene. I want a softer ski that can handle pow but still play nice in the park. I am torn between the Lizzies, Gotama, VCT, and Pimps. Any suggestions?

height, weight, general size of skis you would like, skiing ability, percentage of terrain you will be skiing... are all needed

5'8, 140 will be skiing mostly off piste, but i also ski park. I would rate myself as very very "comfortable" i have been skiing since i was about three (17 years).

ish, i think they're in their 4th or 5th year, they had a couple dud years like all ski companies but from what Ive heard last years stuff was all solid and Im loving mine so far. I wrote a review on them, check it out, theyre like a slightly longer stiffer elizabeth.
