Replying to All-mountain/Park ski suggestions
Long time lurker... first time poster. Forum is a welcome change in the advice category coming from epicski.
Looking to pick up a new set of skis for this season. Have a set if basic intermediate carve skis but I'm able to get the chattering with relative ease and there no good off piste or screwing around in the park.
Upper Int/Advanced
Upper 20s, Western US
Ski Bogus in Boise most often (not extremely powder heavy)
6'1/190lbs
Looking for a good all mountain ski that i can start to take to the park. Nothing extreme but would like to fool around. Will likely set the bindings in an all mountain mount vs a park mount as most of my time will be out of the park.
Trying to keep things on a budget. Gotta cover the wife units ski lessons etc.
I've been looking at 09 and 10 leftover twin tips as they seem to be the most affordable for all mountain use. Have mostly been looking at skis in the 175-181 length (current set 170's)
Ski swap was dismal this year unless I wanted delammed rentals etc.
Skis I've found affordable that I thought might work have been
Head blackjacks 181 80 underfoot
Coreupt Candide Yards in 181
Head Bullets 84 underfoot. (looks like a decent ski could live without the graphic set)
Coreupt Candide Pows 181s
Old Fisher Addicts
Any input would be great.
