For the last 2 or 3 years I have been downhill ski racing and using stiff, thin, flat, FIS performance slalom, GS, and downhill skis and tight, uncomfortable, and cold race boots. However, I have lately been expressing an interest in park skiing. I am an advanced level skier (however a beginner to park skiing), and am seeking advice regarding what skis I should purchase for the 2010-2011 ski season.
Due to my education I am currently located in the Midwest and usually end up skiing on either icy, groomed slopes or slushy and cruddy slopes. While I do make frequent ski trips to either the Rocky Mountains or the Appalachian Mountains, I already have selected skis for backcountry/sidecountry use.
I am trying to find a ski that handles well in the park, can still be fast, is soft enough to handle well in moguls, handles well in crud, and handles well on icy conditions as well. Does such a ski exist? Do any of you have pointers to put me in the right direction? Any of your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
