i loved my 2009 troublemakers, only reason they suck is the quality, black end thingys makes the ends delam and the edge popped out in the front("side" if you know the ski).

otherwhise the weight didn't get to me since im almost 6ft 3" and weigh thereafter

something tells me the best ski EVER made hasn't even been made yet. I wonder what skis will look like in the future?

not the greatest ever, but the scott punishers/missions are pretty underrated IMO. Never see any one riding them.

I'd say Dynastar troublemakers just for the amount of Hall of Fame segments on those skis. They were dang fun too.

This.

That ski had multiple different topsheet pro models with essentially the same ski. Perhaps, the best pipe ski of all time IMO

Rocker2 from Salomon is the best mountain/powder/trick skis I have ever come across.
I love my rossignol scratches for park. The RX8 is the best carve ski

The original Salomon 1080's changed everything. All the new Pow ski technology is pretty great too.

I demo'd the Osama Pros back in the day, and they were really the best all around ski I've ridden.
Sand core is super buttery in the park but firm on the hard pack.
Great in the pipe and slashing pillows.
