Alright, so i'm lookin for a ski that will slay the park, but i can take in the pow if we get dumped on.

im 5'11'', 145lbs. currently riding 176 salomon suspects.. but i've decided to boycott salomon haha

i've been looking at surface double times, surface no times, surface nine lives (sketchy stories..), k2 silencers, line chronic cryptonites, uuhhh and a bunch of others. im frickin indecisive this year it sucks

keep it below $400 if possible.. 500 is pushing it

on3p jmo. Not that I own them, but that is what 9/10 responses will be, so might as well.

on3p is not in my price range (this seasons skis at least).. and all i can find from last seasons are all powder skis. besides that, i have hardly heard anything from on3p.

let me revise this thread by saying park is a priority for me, but i'll want the ski to handle well in powder as well

Eliminate the silencers. the chronic Cryptonites suck in pow. Look at getting anthems, at ur weight and for what u are looking for they would be perfect, if they r out of ur price range, look in the bst and online for some used ones

I've heard nothing but good things from on3p, but i just can't see myself paying that much for a ski.. i get one season out of a ski

what about K2 Kung Fujas???? probably 2010, or 2011 from a local shop if i can get a good deal.

Theres a lot of hype because Scott and I are longtime members of NS and TGR (not so much TGR for me, I lurk because someone called me a jong....), and I'm not going to dispute for a minute that NS doesnt distort the truth a little. I trust TGR a little more for honest reviews.

And it sucks you only get a single season out of your skis. For what its worth, we as a company would like to change that. And now, leaving to go grind some skis.
