Alright I'm from Ontario (east coast) and I'm 6' 3" 175 pounds. I ski park 90 percent of the time and joke around on groomer about 10 percent of the time and I want a super super fun ski. I ski rails way more than I hit jumps and the biggest jump at my home 'hill' is like 35 feet. I want something super playful and maybe a little big wider under foot? (currently skiing 82 underfoot). If you can give me some unbiased (you have skied a bunch of skis and this is what you think) advice it would be much appreciated.

Currently entertaining these

- Line Chronic
- ON3P FR
- Halo 2
- atomic infamous
- moment vice

remove all your previous option, the perfect ski is the K2 domain for you, 92 waist, with the rocker and softness make the butters incredibly funn and in the rail u feel like god. i really enjoy my 3 seasons with them (and they still are in perfect shape), thay are durables, ahh...


pd:i have 3 season becaues 2 in argetnina and 1 in park city (im form arg)

Internet Advertising Madison WI which was very popular 5 years ago and that was extremely easy work now it is very technical work and very tough to maintain the Website Design Madison WI for all clients. Mobile App Madison WI is now future for Internet Marketing so everybody need to focus the internet marketing via Mobile Applications now as Android are developing too much rapidly.

sounds like glen eden?!!

damn all those skis are dope!

ive herd good things about all those skis, i'd go with the chronics or infamous because of how cheap and easy it will be to get them, the halo's are great too, oh shit, i should narrow it down to one.....

probably the 185 chronic

I have never had more fun skiing rails than on my sir francis bacons, and I now use that ski at all times, anywhere.  I realize it's not for everyone though.  but i would demo a pair...
