Hey, I enjoyed my first time skiing and didn’t bust my ass while going down a double black diamond hill so I’ve decided to buy some skis. I want a pair of twin tip all mountain skis under $400 bindings and all. I keep on looking around but I have no clue what to get. I am 5’ 9” and 145lbs. Any suggestions?

to be completely honest, public enemies arent a bad first twin and you can pick them up for cheap pretty much anywhere. i know theres a bunch of kids on here selling them. look around, try to find a 169.

Thanks, I was looking at those but someone told me that they were pretty stiff (I wouldn't know). I was also looking at the K2, Line, ARMADA, and 4Frnt. Just don't know how to choose...

^ if you want an all mountain ski then you'll want something on the stiffer side and not soft. k2 public enemies are a good choice, you can also check out volkl bridges, 4rnt msp's, armada el reys / ar6's or some line chronics. i 'd recommend you stick to about a 170 length for now.
