i only own one pair of skis right now (suspects) and when i go to places farther away i want to bring a backup pair. i want to buy a cheaper pair, made for mostly rails and butters. i am 5'5 110. and i would also need another pair of bindings also. what do you think would be my best choice?

You will never break your skis. You barely weigh 100 pounds.

you should buy my double times i have for sale.

they can come with the bindings..and they're pretty tight. (then your suspects could be your back up skis)

That is a super stupid idea. You want to buy shitty skis as a backup? Buy good ones if you must buy a 2nd pair and use them all the time. Or just rent a pair if yours break...

A lock would be much cheaper.

He meant a Ski Key, where do you put your skis when you go into the chalet?

Just wait until the end of the season/next season, and buy a new pair of skis as your main pair, and keep the suspects as backup...

You ski Snowstar... they have a full blown security system.

We also have 10+ ski racks that are fully capable of having skis locked to them.

But go ahead, spend more of mom's money on some skis. Stimulate the economy and buy some ON3P's or Surface's or something.

No offence but I haven't been to one hill that hasn't had some sort of racks that work with ski keys.

And yeah as far as breaking anything on a ski goes don't worry I doubt you will and if you do then consider getting a new ski, it's not like you will loose a whole lot of time if you buy some new skis and get them mounted/ waxed the same day you break you other ones, if that were to ever happen, which again I highly doubt.

Just build up a quiver. What you're looking for is an urban beater. Something that you can use for summer set ups, something that you can thrash around in the park.

I use a pair of old Anthems that were given to me as a park ski. It's a park ski, you're going to bash it around on things, why not just have a beater? It'd suck of they were stolen, but I'd find a replacement.
