Replying to Yet another "what ski should I get thread"
Alright Newschoolers it's getting to that time of year again, last season I was riding a pair of 2013 chronics, loved riding them but they got destroyed so easily. I live in Onterrible where I get maybe 7 days in total if I'm very lucky of pow and the rest of the 50+ days are spent 95% park 5% trees and groomers. I am looking for a ski that is essentially bomb proof and will last me 100-150 days mainly in the park but that will still be playful in our small east coast powder. I am 6'1(185cm) and 185lbs and 16 years old. I would consider myself a level 3 skier and I'm alright in the park (spend most time on rails.) I like a little flex but not a noodle and around 90 underfoot is what I like.
skis I was looking at:
ON3P FR 186
Armada Alpha X
The new Fat ypus ski (forgot name)
TL;DR: Need bombproof ski that will handle an 185lb guy skiing mostly rails that is about 90 underfoot, 7 pow days max.
