Tell me what you think is the best skis, and why!

I'll start with:

LINE Afterbang. They are so playful, butterish and they are very stable on rails. Cons are that they are pretty heavy and that I bought them a little too longI would have bought them 155 instead of 166 if I could choose now.
Anybody knows any lightweight, but still butterish skis?

Haha agreed ^^. Try skiing other skis before saying yours are the best (lol abangs). Then tell us why you like yours and where the others fell short.

But yeah searchbar.

k2 fugatives.


Best shape - Early rise. Good in pow. Good on grooms without edges
Good Flex - Do big Blackcomb XL jumps and still be able to nose butter on
Good Price - Bought roughly 8 pairs over the past 6 years for around 200 bones


I've always mixed and matched different years to replace broken and worn out. This pic is the last set up i had. I ended up snapping the lower ski 2nd last day this year.
