So here is the situation I currently ski all-mountain and I'm looking to get more into the park. My sis has some 178 Liberty Larose in pretty good condition, slightly used, but no edge cracks, one filled core shot. She is willing to sell them to me for about $200. I was thinking I could get these to just fuck around with in the park. I've also been looking into buying some brand new 186 Hazmats. I would like the Hazmats cause i ride everywhere and are good in the park, and they would be brand new, instead of some used way smaller park specific skis. Cause I'm 6'3" 160, I'm not sure the 178s will be good for me. So i need your opinion on which ski i should get, cause I'm really struggling with this decision.

Can you try out the Larose's? Mabeye see how you like those and then get the Hazmat's if they don't work out for you.

the problem is that she separated the bindings, and even if she left them on my boot s wouldn't have fit cause of major bsl difference.

Keep in mind to when you're buying. unless the park specific ski is detuned you can take it on groomers with your family or whatever. But keep in mind that it's made for MOST of your time to be in park. If you're just beginning in park I think you should just buy the cheaper ski.

They'll both slide about the same on snow and the money that is left you can just pocket.
