so i ran into a little situation and i cant decide what i want to do...

so right know i'm shredding my moment bibby as a one quiver ski, and with the shitty snow on the west coast(or at least where i live) thats been mostly park... and now i want to invest in some new park skis, as a second pair of skis buy i dont know what to do..

so here are my options, buy some cheap park skis right now (looking at some bluehouse antics)and shred them for the rest of the season and i might be going to windells so ill have them there..

OR save up my moneys over the summer and buy some more durable skis like maybe some alphas or somethang.


so help me out and tell me what you would do, and advice and ill give you some special K


and if you have any recommendations on a cheap park ski, because i dont really know how durable bluehouse is, that would be great also

thanks NS

if you want a pair of park skis to get you through the season look into some used ones. if you look through buy/sell/ trade you should be able to find something in good condition relatively cheap. just make a thread in there saying what you are looking for.

are you going to windells regardless?? either way i recommend that you go to windells, and demo next years stuff. cuz u can still shred a park ski at windells, and pick a favprite.

Get a cheap ski from a store that has a easy return policy and then if they dont last you for as long as you want to then just return them.

if i were you i would wait, save up and be very happy and satisfied with whatever ski you buy.... ON3P blue steele is a great example of a ski that you will NOT be dissapointed in. there is no point in buying a ski and then immediatly wanting to buy another ski becuase you dont love them.

Buy some cheap park skis now. Having more then one pair of skis is a good thing these days with abuse and varied skiing we all do. Go to www.evogear.com. They have insane deals right now. Everything is on sale plus another 20% OFF for a march madness promo. I think Anthems will end up being like $250.

And No I don't work or know anyone at Evo.

REI also lets you do that. Im not suggesting to abuse the policy, just If you absolutely hate it and doesnt stand up to what you think the product would stand up to.
