I'm looking for new skis and need some input abot the skis.I'm 5ft 8in 130lbs. I have some K2 enemies and im looking for something a little better in the park but can still handle the rest of the mountain. These are the skis im considering: K2 Public Enemies, Line Mavrick, Rossignal Scratch, Salomon Pocket Rockets... Please make new suggestions Thanx

PRs don't really fit in on that list, they're more of a good pow ski that you could conceivably use in the park. PEs, TMs, Scratch BC, Mad Trix, Armadas are all possibilities.

200-400? i hope that doesnt include bindings because if you need bindings too then you better look at getting used. the least expensive ski retail will be the Fujitive but thats more of a park specific ski then an all mountain. for around 300 you can get some PE (one of the best choices, if not the best choice for any all mountain ski). TM are a good ski but look at spending around $100 more for them. if you truely want an all mountian ski then look into spending more money on 4frnt or the BC scratch. armada is a great ski but for that price i would rather go with the 4frnt. But i ski on the PE and its truley one of the best all mountian skis i have ever been on.

I got a new pair of Mad Trix 172cm for $350 with the bindings and the system. I got them from ebay, you just have to seach the web and shop around for the best prices, it is possible to get good quality skis for that cheap

^ouch with the system. thats not a bad price but do you realize you got them that cheap because nobody wants that system because it adds excess weight to the ski that makes those things weigh a lot

Ditch the pocket rockets, wrong category. Cant comment about the line skis, dont know anyone who has them or has ever ridden them.
Just wait while I put on my asbestos suit, Im about to get flamed for this.
I would go the PE in a 169 over the BC, partly cos the BC only comes in a 176 or above. For 130lbs, that is a huge motha of a ski. 90mm underfoot is good for powder, you are just gonna have to eat a few chili dogs and put on some weight to make it flex the way it should. But thats just me.

i got my skis (mad_trix) with bindings (rossi power 100s, same as Look series) for 338 US and i think they are one of the best all-round skis you can buy
