Replacement for Candides

I currently have a pair of candides, but they are falling apart (10cm edge missing). What is a good replacement ski for them, or should I just get another pair of candides?

I am not looking to spend much more than $200, and I am willing to buy used gear. I spend most my time off piste, but hang out in the park about 25% of the time.

i would say get a wider ski if you ski lots off piste.

If you liked the Candides, the Troublemakers would probably be a good buy, but I don't know if you can get them for less than $200. If you spend more of your time out of park, maybe even try the Little big fats?

Thanks for the suggestions. I got my edge tapered off this weekend, so it looks like I won't loose any more for a while. I think I am gonna ski without the edge for the rest of the season, and then see what I can afford next september or when my candides finally cease to be of use.
