So i bought some of last years alpha ones on the cheap but i dont know whether to sell them and make some money, or just swap my bindings from my 07/08 Stl's and use the Alphas? Ive come a bit attatched to my STL's but do you think Alphas will be much better? I use them in the park cos i have bacons for pow. suggestions?

Maybe ride your STLs until they can't be ridden, then switch over.
I have a pair of TNKs right now and I'm gonna ride them until shit falls apart, then switch my STH14's over to my new AR6s/

i will add gettin used to the elf shoe tech is a li'l interesting but once you do they really are fun and playful.  but  you should also know you need to size up if your on 170 stl's you'd want the 176 alphas.

Did not want to make a new thread so this is thread jacking at its finest. I? have questions about the alpha ski.

-Durability? How durable is it, i live in ontario and ski 100% park i need something that will hold up.
-Jumps? I hit about 60% jumps. Will the rocker make landing harder or jumpps more diffcult in general?
-Length? I was riding 171 suspects last season, planning on riding 176 Ar6 this season. Should i go to 181? im 5' 10"
-Overall experience? Can somebody tell me if it is a good ski to invest in or should i but either the Ar6 or two or three pairs of really cheap skis?
