I am looking for a new ski. I ski alot of pipe and i am not going to be hitting rails on them. I will probably ski 50% pipe 25% jumps and 25% cruising on groomers. I rele need something pretty much pipe specific. I am 5'8 145 lbs. please help me. right now i am thinking pipe cleaners.

Armada Pipe Cleaners, Dynastar Troubles, Line Chronics, Atomic Punx, any thing skinny and stiff with good edge hold.

i would really recommend the pipe cleaner. i'm sure there are a lot of skis that can do the job for you, but i personally had a pair of pc's and thought they were outstanding. they are fast, hold their edge and can rip the rest of the mountain as well

I'm your exact same height and weight and I adored my pipe cleaners - such a fun ski. I'd get those in either 176 or 181.

where do you ski i ski midwest in michigan (it sucks)
what have you been looking at pipe cleaners
What skis do/ did you have volkl walls and line invaders. i loved the volkls but maybe just a little to stiff but i didnt mind it. and the invaders were great rail skis, but would normally be to flexy for me
