So I'm not made of money, and I'm sorry for the threads that exist in this vein already, but I need new skis.  Does anyone know where I can get reasonably priced, new skis?  Last years models are fine, I just really can't spend $500 on a pair of skis.  Please help me out, I'm 5'11" ski 85% park 15% trees and live on the east (originally from the netherlands)

if my link doesnt work, check backcountry. I know that they have A-bangs for 300

Well depending on what you weigh Line Lizzies might be a good option for park and trees. Depends alot on whether you are more in to jumps/jibs, also on whether you would want a wide/short snowboard style ski. Available cheaply on evo outlet.

Other options under 400:
Chronic Cryptonite (Evo Outlet) but longest is 173 so maybe too short.
Volkl Ledge (Backcountry outlet)
Line Step Up/Abangs (Backcountry Outlet)
Line Anthem if you can find them

Whats your budget? What size are you looking for?

check all your local shops first.  This year i got a pair of 09/10 JO pros w/ head mojo 12s at my shop for 399.99 (450 total including tax).  Such a killer deal.

If they still have them left, look for pricepoint skis like the line afterbang, volkl ledge and k2 domain.  Those are usually around 399.99 (skis alone) and might be marked down now.  I dont really know what ski to suggest since you didnt specify though.
