If you are a beginner or experienced and want a light, nimble, lively, and durable ski. get the liberty lte
i am a beginner and i rode these ski they were alot of fun, they were stable on landings, and they held up very well. I am 6'3" 155lbs and these skis we a bit short than i wanted but they measured a true 178, again i wish they came in a 181+

suspects should be out of the picture. they will break. i have not ridden any of those skis execpt for the t-halls. and i loved them. so i will say t-hall. but it also depends on your height to weight ratio.

Amazing.

Therefore, your opinions on those other skis are completely invalid. Thanks for playing.

OP i think what you're getting at is that more people should write reviews for their equipment so that instead of people always making threads concerning "what should i get?" in Gear Talk, they can read reviews from other skiers on this site.

Looking for cheap park skis, good first pair too. preferably below 300$? Anyone know any good sites? Line chronics look sick, if someone can find those cheap then +k.

http://www.dealersnowboards.com/detail.aspx?ID=5562 probably the cheapest you will find chronic crypts, witch are more of an all mountain witch is also good.

theres also the masterminds, step ups, and a-bangs on that site for under 300.

buy new gaper sticks! new extruded base for ultamate gaper proofness! new twin tip design makes you seem cool when you roll across a lip. sidewall construction for crashing durability. the graphics are gaper inspired. wedging skiers, jeans rolled up, no eye protection, and 80's tucked in jackets.  oh btw nice thread. i recommend suspects for jump skiing and afterbangs for rails. for big mountain i recommend the armada jjs. for a little pow i say the 9thward rory silva pros

how are henrik harlauts pros, specifically in terms of durability, flex, pop and overall fun/feeling? thinking about getting some, and have heard good things about ninthwards new skis's durability.
