Kung Fujas
Bibby/Reno rocker if your into the rocker thing
Hellbents if your park skiing is not spin to win type shit mebbe. but i wouldnt recommend it.
Seths perhaps, but they are a bit on the chargier side, still reasonable though
Volkl Bridge. Demo before you buy though, i thought they felt dead to me.
Big Troubles.

I think my top 2 recommendations would be the big trouble and the Kung Fujas

Although in all honesty. a 2 ski quiver will accomplish a lot more than a 1 ski quiver, however i understand thats not financially possible for some.

kung fujas or big troubles. both arent noodles. also the s5/scratch brigade. they are fat enough to float. narrow enough to be fun in the park.

kung fujas is prolly the softest
big trouble is the stiffest

It's @ Comor sports.

However it's 08 gear only.

BELIEVE me when I say that the stuff is pretty picked over. I've made some calls, nothing in the way of rockered skis (in fact the 09 Bents are almost sold out already). I didn't ask about lizzies since I'm too big for them but I can assume they'd be gone too.

Only the Whistler store has anything decent for all mountain. Try looking at the ARV's, They're on for $350.
