Alright here's the deal, I'm looking to get a new pair this year. So far I have ridden Rosi Scratches that were already beat then I beat them more, and then a pair of K2 presses. What is the brand out there for a college kid on a budget?

Honestly, just by last years crap or even stuff from two years back. Most of the time the difference is just graphics. It will save u TONS in cash!

Check out the Surface threads. The prices are ridiculous.

Personally I ride Icelantics, coming from a racing background I wanted a ski with an aggressive sidecut that I can ride in deep shit so I bought a pair of Shamans, (aggressive side cut/wide/short).

Now I'm more into the hucking my meat of shit so I got a pair of Gypsies which are more like hellbent type ski(no sidecut,wide,flex,long)

Some other great companies that others rave about:
-ON3P
-Surface
-Line
-Moment
-K2
-Armada

First off: Thanks to everyone for the help.

Shreadability: seems everyone digs ON3P and surface a ton, line and armada i haven't heard the best about from the guys I work on the hill with. K2 is my current brand so I'm looking to switch it up. I gotta be honest though, never even thought of giving moment a look these days... I'll check em out. thx
