I work at Sports Authority so I get a big discount on everything they sell. My current skis are the 07-08 K2 Public Enemy skis. I've ridden them pretty hard (had to replace a rivet that blew out and filled several deep gashes on the bases). Also, a boarder hit the front of one of the skis pretty hard once and the edge bent inward and caused the base to bulge out a bit (just in like a one square cm area). It's near the tip so it doesn't really affect performance noticeably.
Mainly I want a new pair of skis, preferably rockered. The only twin tip that my Sports Authority has is the K2 Press. It looks like a good ski. Light, riveted, jib rocker and I like the graphics. I can get them for $165 with my employee discount. I'm not really looking to spend more than $400 this winter on gear, so I figure get the Presses and a new helmet, goggles, and maybe some new snowpants.
So do I save the $$$ and keep riding on my PE's or do I get the Presses for $165?
