step 1: pick up some trouble makers for cheap

step 2: shred.

i am proboably getting the ski next year and i kida had four skiis in mind.   The cronic, the 10 line afterbang, salmon's t hall's or the pipe cleaner. but a friend of mine told me the pipe cleaners would catch easily on rails because of the sharp edges.

lol...

out of those, the pipe cleaners are HANDS DOWN the best ski.
if you do rail, the edges will wear them selves down the first day you take them out.  don't worry about it.
get the pipe cleaners!!

your friend is retarded. any new ski has edges and will catch on rails. just ski for a day and youll be all set. if your going for one of those 4, i would say pipe cleaners or t halls

line lizzies and pipe cleaners?
that is like comparing an impreza to an f150
the elizabeths are a completely different ski than the other four.
i personally think they are sick, but they might not be exactly what you are looking for.

I don't think lizzies are what you are looking for. They are way too fat.

i ski east coast and i rocked lizzies in the park for half of this season, but stopped using them because i didnt want to fuck them up on rails....lizzies SHRED all over, including the park.  The width helps absorb alot of shock from big landings, they are REAL buttery, and in my experience, it is virtually impossible to slide off of a rail on them, and setting up a scissor to spin off/switch up on rails is so much easier because the width allows you to bite the rail better/easier...i would definitely recommend them if you are the right height/weight, but demoing a pair first would be my best advice

almost got a pair for $90, trouble makers limited. they ended up not having them in stock (c'mon, for that price i would hope not) and so i got a much sicker pair of skis for almost the same price...

dynastar tm's
anthem/invader/chronic/afterbang next season
k2 extreme/disorderly
armada ar6/pc's/t-halls
atomic punx

all i can think of right now. depending on where you live, go to corbett's and see what they have. if you go next season at the beginning, ask if they have stuff from this season, you can probs get it for mad cheap.

Buy my TNKs.  Best pipe/ jump skis out there, I like them more than my Pipecleaners for just that.  They are also plenty stiff enough to shred moguls.

why would you get those if you live in ontario? yes i also would like to have a ski like that, but it would be pointless.
