I'm looking into buying some all mountain skis. I like to go off jumps in the park and do some rails but I really like skiing powder and doing trees. I about 6'1'' so if you have any skis that you want to sell or trade or if you know any skis that can do basically anything just tell me the size and what kind so I can do some research about which are the best kind.

Your not going to want the Lizzys if your 6'1. They come in a 172 only. And ep's are not an all mountain ski. If you want an all mountain ski the slays. Go with the Bacons.

I would probably do cash but I wouldn't count on me if you need it now unless you give an extremely low price. But for now I'm just looking around. I have k2 silencers 159 if you want to trade those I'll think about it. But sorry It probably wont happen anytime soon. If your still selling in the fall then pm me. But thanks to all the comments How are the armada t halls

bro i have the exact same situation but ive demoed the most perfect pair of skis that fit our description. Liberty Hazmats. These skis charge bro. They are so light cause of the bamboo, and the bamboo also gives the ski so much life. They have great durability, i went over ice roots and rocks and they held up. Their edges are perfect, they will hold up perfectly on rails. They were perfect on gromers, and they are fast as fuck. Powder was great with the hazmats since they are 94 under foot. So yeah liberty hazmats all the way

i just ordered a pair of getboards, but i researched them a bi so here there more of a park ski than an all mountain ski, there really good for butters and pressed there good rail skis, the topsheet chips pretty easily except for that they have good durability and yea

this guy lives in maryland so he deffinately doesn;t need ep's. look for an allmountain park ski like chronic cryptonites, on3p jeronimos, scott punishers, liberty hasmatz, maybe even ar6's.

What does the placement of the bindings do. For the jeronimo it says that they are mounted -3cm. ?

+++++ probably the best choice, elan makes some pretty good ones too. I believe elan pogo sticks are between 102 and 107 underfoot depending on the size you get and they rock everything and are really affordable. kung fujas may be a bit too buttery if you're doing much more park than pow and backcountry.
