Hey NS,

I ski in Eastern Maine, I'm 5' 8" 135 lbs. 14 yrs old and I ski 80% PARK, 20% ALL MOUNTAIN. What I'm looking for in a ski is something with a LOW SWING WEIGHT and DURABLE. Something to last me maybe 1 1/2- 2 years. I do ~65% rails and ~35% jumps in the park. My budget is $500 without bindings. Skis I've looked at and liked:

BLUEHOUSE ANTICS
FAT-YPUS G-BUTTER
4FRNT SCIMITAR

What I'm really looking for is opinions on these skis and also suggestions for skis to look at.
I really appreciate good help and suggestions, and I give alot of karma when people are helpful.

just a shot in the dark
go read reviews online somewhere, about the skis you want. I cant help you much more, since i have never ridden any of those skis.

hey go to o2gearshop.com subscribe with your email and you'll get 15% off your net purchase so you could get halos for 460 or ar7s for around 440 i think. Hope this helped
