Sup all ive been reading this board for couple of months now so i decided to make a account so,

im 21 just started skiing in jan in canada (avila) i had a very short season but loved it

im 5'6" 176pounds ( not fat at all kinda a gym rat ) i do about 75% park 25% all mountain

i can do almost all rail/box just cant get the C rail yet but got no problem wit up or down rail , 270 out did one time but getting there lol , jumps moslty all season i did straight air just to get balance and get used to it. on the last day i did a 360 witch is nothing w/e.

my friend has retail price so lots of thing cheap! for skis he said punx, Ace of spades or s4/ scratch

the shop also has salomon , k2 but no armada

for bindings FKS, Marker, or salomon would be best for my weight

for boots will se what fit me


thanks alot!

out of those binding brands, for marker get the jester, for salomon get a STH driver series binding, and for rossi the fks, i have never owned fks but all of my friends have had good things to say about them, as for skis some people will say stay away from k2 because you need to learn on a cambered ski. I enjoy my domains and i know revivals are on evo right now for under 300. The recoil and press (2012) both have rocker/camber/rocker so they might be easier to learn on
