So my friend is looking at getting a pair of twin-tips.  He wants something that can handle the park fairly well (more boxes and rails, then jumps) but can also go cruise the groomers, and possibly even a few glade runs here and there.  Anybody have any recommendations for a ski that would suit his needs?

alot of ppl will suggest chronics, i dnt have any expeirience with them though, i definitly suggest anthems though, im pretty 50 50 and it works perfect for me, fast and stable, yet flexible and fun, and i love woods too, and not a prob with them on anthems, top does chip and peel easy though

Yea man i would have to agree with the anthems. With the 93 waist it can float in some pow and is still manouverable and spinable. They are also super flex and sick in the park. My buddy has them and says they are sick for most things around the mountain unless it is a 2 foot + pow day.

i have rossi scratch scream in's. 88 waist so it can take some pow and still slay the groomers. pretty soft so still awesome in the park. i think its pretty much the s3 this year. anyways really solid ski for the east coast.

Agreed Chronics or Anthems definetly, both will work really well as an all mnt. 50/50 ski.
