So I was driving home today and hit up a bump and my ski racks decided to just open and this is what happened......

So I need some new skis now..
I want something that is 90 underfoot and a pretty good all mountain ski.
My budget is 500$ and that is with bindings so I am probably going to get last season
Any suggestions will be great

Advice will be greatly appreciated, I am trying to find something as soon as possible.
Thanks

are your bindings fucked up? why not transfer your old bindings to your new sticks so you have more cash to play with on that end? sorry, it's kind of hard to see what's up in your pics.

sorry to hear though broseph! that shit sucks super hard. I'm always afraid of losing skis out of roof racks at like 65 mph.

Damn dude, that sucks.
Sorry to hear about that.
I don't have many suggestions for skis, i'd say just hit up a website that has last year skis and look for a good deal. When it comes to skis, everyone has their preferences.
Too bad u can't reuse ur bindings.
Maybe buy used? someone on NS might be selling something worth looking at.

I have revivals, and the next ski Igot was the surface one time, it is an awesome choice. If you liked revivals, you will love one times. They are stiff like the revivals, but they're still very playful because of the rocker. Surface skis are the business, and not very expensive. I have revivals, so I can definitely relate.

If you can save up an extra 50 bucks, this is a pretty good deal…

Sucks man. Last year the same thing happened to me. Ski rack popped open on a busy highway and my skis got run over by a truck. I'm still using them now though! Only with new bindings (they got sheared out of the ski). I was lucky the skis didn't actually hit someone though. Your skis seem to have fared much worse though.

Avoid the Soma's unless you want some more snapped skis. Fragile as anything and Faction won't stand behind on the warranty front.

volkl bridge, the 2010 model has a 90 underfoot and kills it everywhere, slacking in the park but it's really not a big deal if you dont go in the park much.

K2 Recoil with Marker Squire Binding. They end up being 419 total once you check out. 90mm underfoot, great all-mountain park ski and they look sick.  I'm gonna go get a pay day loan so i can buy some. Above link should work.
