Go filthy riches. I'd probably grab a pair if I had the money. They're such sick skis.

If you ski 50/50 park all mountain you may want a better one ski quiver ski like the jeronimo for example.

They are one of the most copied ski designs in the past 3 years, amazing park ski, rockets really fast all mountain and are extremely maneuverable. Super unique and fun ski to ride.

Not dead in the slightest like the comment above mine mentioned.

"The Alpha 1’s five dimensional EST Park Rocker ensures no hang-ups while its profile and construction provide a tight turning radius and low swing weight. Patented."

hmmm weird

so you guys are trying to debunk my opinion based on some facts about the skis? i dont think so, ill say it one more time, i liked them in the park, the swing weight was low, with my FKS 14's the skis at 182 were by no means light, they were good on the rails, i found the ski has little pop, just not too snappy which is why i said it felt dead to me, and all over the mountain they just wernt too fun

Rocker=early rise=reverse camber. Full reverse camber=full rocker. Terms are very interchangeable.

Pick up those Da'Nollies, you will not be disapointed! Most durable ski on the market and super versatile for skiing the whole mountain and just in case anything happens Icelantic offers a 2 year warranty so that helps.
I would go for 180 length.

I think this is more like a 19 month bump. Glad to see everyone's reading skills on full display.
