i hate to do it, but it helps to have all the input i can get before i spend the money, so which ski should i go with? Im 5'6'', 125 lbs and still growing and theses skis would be for NEXT season. I prolly ski about 2/3 park, 1/3 east coast trees and powder. It seems like ive been pretty hard on my skis, so durability is also important. (top sheet chipping doesnt matter, just delam-ing and strength of base and edges)

the skis im looking at most are the 08 anthems which i can get for 200+ship., 09 anthems in any graphic for 250+ship., Bluehouse Mr's for 225, or moment reno jibs for 450+ship.

any help is appreciated,
Alex.

For what you are descibing, because you hit up the trees and need something you can make quick turns on, still have the twin tips, and hit up the park a ton I would recommend 2 skis. The Volkl Bridges and the 4FRNT STL's. The Bridges in a 169 would fit your bill nicely.

We have a nice video explaining who the Bridges are for and why they are a sick ski.

thanks for the input, but i think the rossignol s3 would be a pretty similar ski to the bridge, but at 1/2 the price. the bridges are definitely an option though, thanks
