Thats right folks, Im in the market for some new skis.
Im 5'10" 140lbs.  I ski around 50 or 60% park and 40 or 50% everywhere else (groomers, bumps, steeps, crud, etc). I live on the east coast so pretty much no pow.  Also has to be fairly inexpensive; under $350.
Thanks.  +k for responses

Buy some extremes and mount them back. Good all mountain ski for sure.

you're a roundtop kid. so pretty much any park ski will hold up on the rest of your hill. buy something on the stiff side, and it will hold up all mountain as well. i would check out armada.

easy bro , RT is mad chill. best small mountain in the mid atlantic. and, like i always say, matt stambaugh is doing big things with the park. on opening day last season they had more features standing than whitetail and liberty put together.

also ninthwards would be sick for you as well. shoot a PM, i might be able to work out a deal on nines.

i guess roundtop aint that bad but i liked seven springs when i went there so much better but i live 15 min from roundtop so its pretty cool. i had no idea how many people on here are from the small little mountain that i grew up at. that is cool man. hopefully they put in a mini park this year, they said they might. i have a lot of friends that wanna start doing park cause they saw me do it last year but they dont wanna jump right into the big stuff. but i just wish they did a little better maitenence on boxes. last year they had hella big gashes in some of them that would mess u up. seven springs though were silky smooth, and i went there the weekend they got 33 inches of snow so i guess i got them at their best possible time.

Chronics or armadas would probably be a good choice
