I'd be using this as a primarily park ski for next year. I'd be looking at 2010-2011 Revivals vs the original (2008 I guess) Alpha 1s that are white and green. I'm 5'8" 165 and I like butters but still want stability on jumps.
So heres basically the deals I found:
Alpha 1 in 176 for about $170 shipped. These are kind of beat up but the edges are still good underfoot.
Revival in 174 brand new for $220 shipped.
I really want a durable ski that hopefully would last a season. I'm leaning toward the revivals right now, especially because they're new.
