hey whats up NS.  The time has come for me to break the bank and buy some new skis and i have it nailed down to four specifically. 

Chopsticks, new lifes, mavens, or the cholesterone R.C.

I am 6'1 and 180 pounds.  Looking for something light weight, but stable enough to demolish crud and rip at high speeds.   Tell me what you guys think,

I'd say either the Chopsticks or New Lifes for crud. The Mavens are pretty soft.

I actually did look at the moment night trains, but it looked like it had a lot more rocker in the tip, and not so much in the tail.  I plan on center mounting within 1 cm so it would be better if the rocker profile was more symetric.
