I am getting my first pair of twins and looking for a good ski under $400 max.  I'm 5'11", 190lbs.  Expert skier, but not in park.  I'd like asymetrical twins that i could ride all mountain, learn some park.  I'd end up being 70% piste, 30% park.  I live in upsate NY, so it has to be able to handle the ice and crud.  I was looking at 07-08 K2 PE's for $350.  08-09 Dynastar Trouble's for $320...

Any suggestions on a first twin.  Either last year's model or this for under $400.  There are a lot of deals on last year's models....

not sure if you wanna deal with getboards because i've heard they're fairly poor service wise. but this is right up your alley for price.

line chronic or last year's blend. you'd be really stoked with either of those. and i'm pretty sure they're both really cheap. stiff and super stable for east side resort shredding. both are extremely capable in the park as well.

The Dynastar Trouble would be a great choice.

yea id say the chronics there allitle past your price range just for the ski but i got em for the same exact reasons as you but im alot smaller ...

 my setup with px 12's came out to be just at 500 but i got some nice discounts...  if you go to porterstahoe.com you can get them for 404 just pm me if you want the code for it..

the coreUPT package with the ski and the dildo15's is a good deal. you will have to scope it, ive never ridden any of there sticks, but hey, for 500 and some change i figure at least you got some nice bindings, and the skis look good.
