So I want to buy new ski's this fall, but I am in doubt what to add.

Right now i have:
182 chronics (beat but they still function & pretty stiff for indoors)
189 one life's in good condish (love em)

I can get K2 & Line tru a shop & moments and some surface ski's are catching my attention.
(maybe rossi )

About me:
6.1 / 175
What I ski:
I instruct at a indoor slope, 90% there is spend in the park.
I ski the Alps whenever i can get away. (3 to 5 weeks), mostly out of bounds, and some occasional park.

A quiver like this would be ideal I think: (but will not be withing my options)
Moment rocker,
Moment bellafonte/ ruby
Moment night train
NS what skis would you add in my sittuation? Add a coment en tell me why! Thanks

So you're looking for an inbetween ski?

your two skis right now are both rather stiff (even tough the one lifes are super fun)

maybe consider a ski like the elizabeth for fooling around ...

Ill prob buy an afterbang/ chronic crypt/ domain to replace the old chronic.

But if i were to add another ski, would you go bigger in waist with or smaller and why?

I.e add:
Obseth or a kung fujas
Night trains or a bellafone/ruby
New life of watch life
Ep pro of Blend

So much nice skis to choose from

Oh and i liked the with of the one life on the slope, when you put them on edge they make biggg fast stable turns, but when flat based i felt less stable.

Well I think ive made up my mind,

Im selling the old cronic and replacing that with a softer park ski.
Adding a belafonte or ruby.

Annyone want to suggest me a nice park ski?
Im thinking domain or afterbang, since i mostly do rails and the jums are small (indoor)

My doubts:
k2 Domain 179, no camber do they feel dead? luggish ? are they heavy?
line Afterbang 177: Short? (Im 6.2), soft slow base?

help me out! thanks +k offc.

Dunno about the Fujas, seems to be too much allound to be a good park ski or a good pow ski,
Rockers: like these, the spec's on these seem so nice. But the parks ski prob will be a K2 or Line
Da'nollie:havnt heard annything about them... looked it op on there webpage, [rice seems a little steep.

i suggest emailing Moment and seeing if they have any leftovers. they probably have a few pairs and it would be cheaper than any of next years lines or K2's.

since you seem to like the stiffer skis, i would suggest replacing your chronics with some older volkl walls (still able to find the originals in brand new condish..) and then buy 2010 kung fujas for an all around ski instead of 2011. the 2011 is more like the old obsethed while the obsethed is becoming a skinnier hellbent.

For all mnt ill prob go with a moment belafonte.

But for replacing te chronic id like something not as stiff. Jumps wont be bigger than 10meters and i wont do that manny jumps annyway.

How do the chronic cypt's compare to the older chronics?
Maybe a line step up? I fear i will be disapointed by the afterbangs.
K2 domains are on my list to.

from what I've heard, the step ups will be "too much ski" for an indoor setup. the things I've been hearing about them are talking about how they are mega-jump worthy, and for huge parks etc.
