Hey,

So it's christmas and I though about buying me some new skis. I ride salomon suspect since last year and really like them. The thing is that I moved to the west coast and wanna upgrade for something a little bit more all mountain and that do well in powder also. I was thinking about the Wednesday by faction but might be a little expensive for me since I wasn't able to find last year one. Any other suggestion ?

*sigh* tell us about yourself/what kind of skier you are/what you want out of a ski before we try to help you.

amazing how often these threads pop up and people relentlessly forget to include any info about themselves that will help others recommend them skis

Ok so basically I do park everyday cauz there not much snow right now but wanna eventually do all mountain maybe like 60 % park 40 % all mountain (cliff and tress runs are my favorite). So was maybe looking for something like 92-98 underfoot what do you thing about that wide in the parks still good ?

Line Chronic or Blend. The Chronic is 92 underfoot and is great for all mt/park. Blend is a little wider at 100 and is a little softer and can handle pow a little better

If you like your suspects chances are you will want to go for something reasonably stiff. I woul recommend something like the arv ti. It's a bit like a wider suspect with some rocker. I'm a fan of how hard you can push a suspect too I actually think it's on of the best groomer skis you will find. I like the arv ti a lot. It's not crazy stiff but you can ski it hard and really carve on it. It's 98 so will handle all mnt well and the slight rocker will make them good for fresh. Take a look at them and see what you think.

Try Amplid Rockwell. Those are 95 underfoot i think. Could also look at the ever popular ON3P Jeronimo.
