I would have a ski that would let me choose ten other skis.

Then with those, I'd make sure they're also skis that would let me choose ten.........

yeah.

06/07 185 Volkl Karma's I would ski these forever if mine didn't wear out. I love how everyone's favorite ski is probably the one they used this year. If that's the case I would say wouldn't the ski you buy next year or the year after then become your favorite?

Agreed, I don't think you have ever skied your lizzies in moguls or chop or tracked out powder, because you will die there. They are good in most places, but definitely not everywhere.

That was towards the kid who said they were good everywhere btw.

Anyway, I think I would go with s6's with fks 14. Good everywhere (from speculation).

Line Blends in a 183 or 4FRNT MSPs in 187. Either ski with FKS 180s. Both of these skis are stiff, around 100mm underfoot, cambered, and absolutely destroy everything. They're the only skis with which I can ski park, urban, groomers, race courses, new snow, corn snow, touring, literally anything, and feel extremely confident the entire time. I have owned dozens of skis over the years, and although I've really enjoyed most of them, I find myself using these about 90% of the time.

As far as the bindings are concerned, they really don't need an explanation. They're strong, reliable, completely sick looking, and have a din range that supports my needs.

Realistically my 07/08 Bacons
If I'm only skiing pow from a Heli then Donner Partys

Once I ride some ON3P's the above statement will be null and void.
