So I need some new skis for this year and i would really like them to last. Last year i skied on surface double times which were super fun but it was the second pair of surfaces that i broke in a year so i need a new durable pair. they were very playful which i really liked. Info:


I ski in the east so not always the best snow. I ski about 50/50 park/all mtn
I'm 5'9"ish 135lbs and 17 years old
I am an expert skier
budget doesnt really matter obviously the cheaper the better but i'll take any suggestions
I want something similar to my double times. i really liked those skis. something about 90 underfoot that is good for park and all mountain. maybe something rockered too. i really want something durable

thanks

Sounds like the k2 recoil or line chronic would be great for you, both have a lil bit of rocker, chronics 92 waist and recoil is 90

I like how you just gave up on the grammar halfway through this post Aaron. Thalls?

Check out the ON3P Jeronimos, they are quite wide but are so good all around the mountain, fantastic on jumps, a 176 would suit you well i think.

I am a big fan of my bluehouse MR's they do everything I want them to, they have also improved on the top sheet for durability. Nice lightweight, kinda stiff (I like stiff skis). If you want a less stiff more park oriented ski check out the antics. Very good prices on these skis too
