Light,poppy,sick rail ski,can handle jumps but not the bigger ones. but judging by your age that shouldnt be a problem. Ive had my masterminds for 1 season and theres some reallllllly minor delaming going on. nothing bad.

the bases arent the greatest tho.

I had em last season and it was my first season skiing park. They are way soft and a really fun ski. They definatly arent the strongest ski, I cracked the nose on mine when it got caught on a rail.

i have them,

super fucking fun ski. i love them, super light easy to butter landings are always stomped.

but the bases suck. i wasnt able to wax them for a week, and last day at coc i couldnt clear any of the jumps on the medium line and i straightlined in.

superfun skis just wax them, lots.

The mastermind isnt a bad ski, but i would get the afterbang, volkl ledges or volkl walls, but the masterminds are a good ski.

thatnks for all the help but i think i changed my mind because i ski alot almost 3 to 4 days a week and i might kill the bases before the end of the season so i founds some other skis.........the nordica dead moneys and i just purtchased them they sound like a solid ski.
