Hey guys Im planning on buying new skis and ur opinion will definately help
Im 5'7 (170cm) and 132lbs. I have the Rossignol s5 from 2008. They are 90mm on the waist and i used them mainly for freeridem together with a little bit of park. Now im a big park fan.Im from argentina and im going to Park City in some days so i was going to take the opportunity to buy some park skis.

So you should kno that the jumps i go for arent huge.I pretty much want some park skis that will make it easier to learn tricks as i got so much to learn and are very good for boxes and rails which i love. im guessing flexible skis would be nice. thankss

4FRNT Click!'s are great for progressing your park skills on rails/boxes but won't be too good for powder

Grab something American made while you are up here and can enjoy the cheap shipping - Filthy Rich sound like what you are looking for too!

It costs most people down in South America a few hundred bucks to ship the skis to them, as ON3P doesnt have a South American dealer. However, if you are in the US and order a pair, you can get them sent to wherever you're staying take them back with you when you leave. Just a way to save some cash. Let me know if you have questions about the Filthy too!

Line Masterminds or as previously noted, the Click!s would be good. Masterminds are retarded light, and buttery smooth
