I'm relitively new to skiing but learning quickly ( grabs rails jumps w.e) I need to go with 170's and im looking at buying some used NORDICA SUPERCHAGER IGNITION skis with Marker bindings. What are you opinionon these skis and any other twin tips out there. My price limit is about $450 - $500  WITH BINDINGS! If you live in Ontario and are selling any thing used pm me!

How tall are you and what do you weigh?

Look into Bluehouse MRs. Mid fat one ski quiver, do it all ski. They have 171 and 179cm lengths.

http://bluehouseskis.com/node/7  I can't link for some reason... Copy and Paste.

. They are still on preseason sale for under $300. You can get some px12 bindings fairly cheap (just over $100) and they are pretty durable. (People have a love hate relationship with them  but they usually last pretty well). Or Tyrolia Peak 15s pop up on tramdock every once in a while for $135 which is a steal.

line anthems are wide park skis, so they would fit the good pow and park category, i bought a pair but havnt been able to ride them yet, let there be winter!

just whatever you get, dont get the line invaders. they last about 1/2 a season in the east, suk in powder, dont land well, dont spin well, no butter zones. srry line but these skis stink.

if your 6'4 your gonna want to get a ski 176 to 185

anthem, chronic, volkl bridge or wall, armada ar6. The anthem and wall are symetrical so will lack small amount of all mountain performance

good ski. I'm 6'3" 190 and ride the surface LL2 everyday.

the watchlife has a solid medium flex and is 100 in the waist (which means it'll float in most stuff)

good choice.

try getboards.com lots of neat little deals there, lots of the 08-09 stuff come with free bindings or really cheap (in price for the most part) bindings thrown in. just got 09 tnks and deadbolt 12s for under 500 bucks, all new stuff on the site.
