Hmm specific pants, or just colors? Either way I think yellow pants would look dope with them, and Orage Barney pants from last season seem pretty sick: http://www.orage.com/products/detail/HPM-60-09/barny

If you're looking for this season stuff, I have no idea...

$140ish for air raids is a fucking steal.

Rather than creating yet another thread about zomg I need new skiz help mah plx, I saw this thread and figured I'd ask here...

My specs:

Age: 21
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 126 (yes I know I'm a skinny thing)
I'd say I'm about a type 3 skier, but I ski very aggressively.
Most likely to ski somewhere in Europe...

I currently have a pair of 08/09 Line Blends @ 178 and they are getting quite trashed because I ski Permasnow. They have been a great ski to learn on and all that jazz, but I have been looking at the new Cryptonite in either the 173 or the 178 and funnily enough I can't decide what would be best for myself. I think I'd keep the Blends for powder days and just use the Cryptonites for the park and groomers.

Percentage wise I'm looking at 40% park, 30% groomers and 30% pow...

Not ski related,
I'm looking for small speakers for my iPod and challin with friends indoors and out. I would prefer something inside this industry because I like supporting our industry and because they always deliver with legit stuff.
Just a quick look around and I found these http://shops.hookit.com/outdoortechnology/ViewProduct/OTFold-OutSpeakers%E2%84%A2/13.aspx
Click for larger image which are really a perfect example of what I'm looking for, but any other ideas would be nice, THX&+K

make your own like thee triangles 2 posts up. i have a friend who did, and he got some super dank speakers and made the frames for them.

ive never heard/seen speakers better, and he paid WAY less than you kids did for your ipod docks.

Okay, so ive pretty much narrowed it down to these two pants to go with the jacket. If you'd be so kind to let me know what you think, i'd be very appreciative.

Also, if someone could help me find a pair of pants that are light blue with white and i end up getting them, ill hit you up with some stickers if ya want

The two pants right now are these

Mehh, not sure what my thoughts are on the purple and blue ones. They seem girly to me

But i love baby blue.

Ideally, i want some baby blue pants with some white accents..

Well chipping really doesn't matter at all, and you may be right about the weight, but everything else about it seems like the right ski for you

That's good news since I have the magic pants. Bad new is I accidentally washed them with fabric softener and now their waterproofness is similar to that of a paper towel.
