Shattered binding, need new skis ASAP.

Hey guys, took a cork 9 to my side today and my heel piece stripped my skis and shattered several pieces of the binding. Currently I have Surface Double times, but my edges are cracking and I have a few monster core shots. I need a pair of skis that are for 90 percent park and 10 percent groomers. Something that will hold up to bigger jumps. Just throw me some recommendations, it would be preferable if I could find the skis in an older model that will be significantly cheaper. Thank you.

You could get some surface blanks to finish out the season then pick up a new pair and make a decision later when the shops stock the 2013/2014 gear

O2gearshop.com has recoils for $221. Or you could just get something used/super cheap and get the ON3P Prestors next year, they sound good for you.

Just researched them, they are a cheap 250 dollar replacement ski. They sound like a great idea, except that they are only 79cm under foot which seems a little small since I am used to 90 underfoot.

If you want more of a stiffer cheaper jump ski here you go.

They only have 157s and 178s left though. Untracked should have something you like thats cheaper.

bluehouse antics or MR's loved mine, but the edges on all tips ripped out. the good thing about the company is that they take constructive critisism and make those adjustments for next year. Great company. I said that the edges were wearing down too fast and that you should bulk them up, so they said they will and I will be notified about it. get them for next year cuz they will have some changes

Look on evo's outlet. I'm pretty sure they have a couple older skis for cheap.
