haha, gotcha with the title, didnt i? this thread is actually to determine what skis i should buy. here are my options. some where recommended by my dad's friend, who is like pro at skiing, and very into it.

K2 extreme possibly with px12's
Salomon Suspect/px12's
Volkl Ledge/m11.0
Dynastar trouble maker/px 12
rossi S2/sas100

really going to be riding all around the hill pretty balanced, no pow. so i say like 45 park, 45 groomers, 10 just messin around. px12's are 200 at a local store. in the park i really want to be learning to fly, while still hitting rails.

Suspects are a definite no I have seen way too many people with torn out edges and delams
I don't know much about the S2s but im pretty sure the S4 would be the ski youre looking for Rossi-wise
Hate to be the guy that throws in the other option but Armada Ar6s are so awesome all mountain, stable for jumps and just soft enough for rails and messin around

trouble makers hands down
you can't go wrong with trouble makers.
stay away from solomon this year...
but get the TMs.  cheap, durable.  spend your money on your boots.

All of those will be fine. Base your decision on price, and if they have the correct size for you.
I'd seen guys rip on skis partially delamed and edges hacked to shit, you can't really make a bad choice.
Are these your first pair... You'll probably won't even be able to tell the difference between the bunch until your skills and feel improve.

thata guesstimate though, because once i start skiing more park, i'll see how much time i'll be willing to spend in there.

id say disorderlys, or id go walls insead of ledges. ledges are like pure park, not the ebst for out of the park from wat ive heard. i love my walls, between walls and disorderlys, id say walls cause they shred all mountain, and im not too sure about the disorderlys

The extreme looks like a pretty sick ski but don't buy the suspects every people i've seen with suspects they just broke it's really bullshit and they cost way too much. If you can try grabbing some moments they are my favorite skis ever they are just so sick!

i'll prolly buy some moments as my next ski, cuz i talked with he ec rep for moment, and my local shop might start carrying them. on a diff note, has anyone ridden both skis, and wouldn't mind telling me which one is stiffer.
