Hai Guyz , today i realized my edges were cracked on both skis and my base has cracks and has begun to split.

SOOOO:
Im looking for a new pair of GOOD skis that are 350 and under. As of now i know of bluehouse antics but i really think there are some other good cheap skis out there and don't want to be stuck with one choice.

+k for ANY suggestion.


ps. trolls get no love...






And if anyone knows anything about or rides antics, i would love to KNOW

$350 isnt much to spend on skis.  But it is near the end of the season so stuff should be marked down.

check out the k2 domains.  they are usually around $399.99 in the states and canada.

solid jib ski with tip and tail rocker.  I have a friend who rides them who loves them.  Kills it on rails and jumps, just an awesome park ski all over.  As usual, k2 has great durability so you wont have to worry about your ski not lasting long.  K2 topsheets do chip easily but that would bother your ski's performance.  I rode my k2 disorderlys for two years and they have been solid since day one.  I think of the domain as the "modern" version of the disorderlys.  check'em out

I dont know about the antics, but if you can hold out until the end of the season, you'll find some great skis for less than $300 on evo and backcountry.com.

Get Bluehouse Antics.

I had a pair of Masterminds but they snapped at the tip... Not the most durable ski.
