Alright... I was planning on getting a Line Chronic Package deal from getboards.com , but I waited too long and now it's out of stock.

Now I need to know what Skis and Bindings I should get so I'm asking you guys what you would recommend.

I ski 50% rails, 30% all mountain and 20% jumps. I weigh about 140 pounds and I'm 5'4" tall. I would like to spend not much more than $500 for skis and bindings (and shipping). I'm not looking to get used skis. Just some help on what skis I should get.

Thank you Newschoolers for any help you can give me!

+k for help

I would troll around the outlets and last years stuff to find a sick set-up for cheap.

probably Afterbangs, I know it's the go to answer here, but this time it's a good one. Masterminds are pretty good too, but wont be as soft as Afterbangs, and chronics are pretty stiff so they wont butter around a lot, but are nice for bigger jumps.
