well the park here is terrible, so you won't have much of an issue there. girdwood is super fun, that's where i grew up, you wont have to waste too much time finding people to kick it with. and youre 25 minutes from tincann for easily accessible bc once the snow flies!

Yea I'm so excited. Does the park really suck??? I mean the park I skied was horrendous 4 rails and 2 poorly built small tables. But anyway I won't be gettin to caught up in the park scene since the bc I hear is sick. I need an all mountain/ bc/ pow ski any suggestions? I was thinkin the k2 obsethed? But I dunno. Oh and I'm 5'10 155lbs skiing since six so some experience. Thanks

yeah the obsethed is a good all mountain ski, pretty much anything in the 108-113 waist region and youll be just fine.

Hmmm I'm 27.5 but my momma might be overnighting all my shit here so that would be the bees knees, but if not I'll probably just watch, thanks for all the help guys!

Shoot me a message or something. I'll check what shit I've got at my parents' house in town, and I might be able to hook you up for that. Working late tonight and then going to the Tooth for beer, so I honestly won't remember to check unless you message me, ha.
