I'm gonna be buying a new pair this year and i want some ideas of what to get. I ski mostly park but also a descent amount of all mountain. I know there are a lot of options but i want some ideas of what to look into. I'm 6'1" 180 lbs and i'm a pretty agressive skier both in park and all mountain. +K for any help. thanks!

Surface Watch Life.
Medium stiff flex. 100mm in the waist. Kill it in either park or softer snow. Perfect ski for everything.

Or the Double Time.
More of a stiffer park ski, 90mm in the waist, will kill it in the park, and still perform amazingly in the softer snow.

Or this

It's the Watch Life (as I mentioned), but with a simpler graphic. Use the code, $400.





Check out the Evo outlet in general.

Sorry for double post

i have this years antics, and love them, they have a very similar construction, dust different dimensions. everyone i have talked to says MRs are the best ski they have owned! and this year bluehouse has a new manufacturer and materials which makes them extremely durable! and if you were to ever have a problem bluehouse is THE BEST with customer service! they will replace it for pretty much any reason within the first year, and i have heard they will give you a nice discount if something happens after the first year. but i have never heard of MRs breaking or anything!

definitely get these skis, bluehouse is sooo dope!

any questions? pm me!

My friend and I both have skied the MR extensively since the 08/09 season and is both of ours primary ski  when it's not a powder day. They are a killer ski and I'm super happy with them. For the price I really don't think they can be beat.

PM me any specific questions, don't feel like writing a huge review.
