I'm looking for some low priced, quality skis. I'm looking for something under $700 and I would prefer an all around ski, for both mountain and park. It's a pretty vague description of what I'm looking for, but I hope you guys can help. Please post questions regarding specifics and I'll try and answer them. Thanks!

<$700 isn't inexpensive. I'm going to have to change that to about 600. That's pretty much my price range. I'll check out those sites and skis and then get back to you guys. Thanks so much for the help!

I just bought last year's surface double time's which I've heard are fantastic from evo for $225 after a coupon code. I've heard good things about this year's model too, which are slightly different, and I think either would be a food buy.

Try evo.com 's outlet because they have everything in outlet 20% with coupon code "tinsel", so you might find a pair of skis.

Thanks guys. Right now, I'm kind of leaning towards the AR7's. To me it seems like they're mainly a park ski, but apparently they're an all around ski. Could anyone clarify?

It's 25% off with the code tinsel25, they had it on their facebook page. And ar7s are park/all-mountain, and I've heard they hold their own in both domains.

$700?! The most I've spent so far on new skis ever is $180, and I haven't had shitty skis by any means (Troublemakers, Rossi S3's, and Coreupt Candide Yards). There are tons of really good skis to be had for under $400 even if you look in the right places.

$700 is expensive in my books, but whatever.
