So i pulled out my thrusters that i've had for two years and realized i've grown alot. They are 161 center mounted. I am 5"9 and about 125 pounds. Looking for new ones that are 171 to 176. I will center them but  I'd say i ski 60% park and 40% all mountain. I live in ontario but will be making a trip to whistler and tremblant this year. Price isn't a huge deal but i want a ski thats not gonna fall apart. Thanks for the help...

Liberty Hazmat 171 or 181cm. 94 underfoot, slays the entire mountain, great ski for riding park and for getting in pow (especially if you're going to Whistler) They also look real sick and are made in the USA.

Line Blend 178cm (actually a 181) 100 underfoot and should slay everything for you.

Armada ARV 175cm. 95 underfoot and again, slay everything.

I would go with the Hazmats myself, gotta love Liberty.

Armada AR6s or Line Chronics would be fun and can ride anywhere really easily.

Chronic Cryptonites are perfect. Fatter and stiffer for touring, and kill it in the park.

so i'll check out the line chronic cryptonites, ar6, line anthems, rossi s3, liberty hazmats. Any other skis that should be considered or anyone got anything to say about these skis? And if you have already been out skiing and have one of these input on them would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Moment Tahoe or Moment Rockers

96 and 92 underfoot respectively.

both slay hard, the tahoe is more of an all mountain ripper, similar to the Blend.
the rocker is a park ski with a little extra width so it can destroy the rest of the mountain. both would make a nice choice for you.

thanks for all the input. length wise i'm a little torn between 171 and 176 i think the 176 would be good for my height (5'9) but i'm super light like 125 pounds. What you think?
