I'm 5'8 135 pounds I ski mostly park but on top of that some all around stuff, and I have about 500 bucks for skis with bindings, I like a low din, something around 5-6. Thanks for the suggestions and if you have something for sale at a good price hit me up

$500 with bindings is a cheap ski?

I've bought both my ski/binding combos new and never paid over $250 (Troublemakers / PX12's & Rossi S3's / PX 12's)

Yeah so far we are all out.

We will be restocking with the 11/12 line soon.

This year, the durability of our skis have completley changed. Since our factory is now in SLC and not china we can inspect every inch of everyski and make sure what we want goes into the ski.

We changed base and topsheet suppliers this year completley. As well with edges, we also added an extra layer to help the edges not pull out.

So this year are skis will be bombproof. And if you happend to brake a pair of our skis in the war we'll send you out a new set.

Just thought id bump this.
I bought 2012 stepups and basically learned all my tricks on them when I was hapless on my Boone's.
So the stepups are beat as foq and starting to delam in both tails so i thought id move on. I know Stepups are pretty heavy skis, especially is there is any water logging. I'm more of a rail guy, and I know Stepups aren't really a rail ski but should I stick with a stiff ski?

Just throw me some suggestions, looking for a low swing weight, preferably around 171, hopefully I'll be able to get them on sale at the end of the year.

Was thinking future spins?

Thanks!
