So I havent skied since 2 seasons ago. But I will have the opportunity to finally ski again when I get home from this deployment. So i need a new set up. I don't know anything about what skis are shit and what skis are good anymore. I was on Punx with fks's but I dont have them anymore. So help me out here.

Mainly East coast park and all mountain
5'11 175lbs
Skied for about 8 years two season break ready to go back
between 1000-2000 bucks total skis, boots, and binding
Boots were SPK Pro 27.5s

What do you recommend for me?

For skis its a bit harder as its what suits your style.
But for boots if you were happy with the SPKs before maybe look at going down the same root as normally if you find a boot your happy with best to stick with it. I dont think it has changed much.

Yeah ill most likely stick with SPKs. Im guessing they havent changed.

But for skis I like something that is pretty flexy and playful but not noodle flexy. The punx were perfect. But I was thinking about something with alittle bit of rocker.
