hi this year i have been lucky with birthday and christmas money. what should i get new full tilts or skis and bindings?

I have a pair of solomon SPKS that fit, but feel tight i also feel there won't be long till i grow out of them and that my feet won't grow after i get a new pair when i move to the next size.

on the other hand i have a half a year old line after bangs 2011 with tyrolia peak 11?

I think a better question is, fuck you. Full Tilts likely won't fit your foot you cock, and do you really need new skis?

Of the two go skis for sure. Wait until next season for boots as you can't buy boots to grow into.

No problem. Honestly with boots never skimp always buy a good boot which has been fitted for you. Always buy custom footbeds too they are the only way to properly control a foot in a boot which essential for a good fit. So wait until you know you have stopped growing and go get fitted up. Also don't have any boots in mind, let the fitter select the boot for you.

Were there any skis you had in mind?

I would always rather have better boots than skis, but like the guy above said if its an issue of you growing wait on the boots.

If you have bindings that apparently work fine, why would you get new ones?

Any good rail ski that slides well indoors as at the indoor dome we mainly ride rails and the artificial snow is sometimes super sticky do u have any ideas?

for a second pair of skis for when i go away as the artificial snow covers the base in dirt making the ski very very slow and appalling to ride with ;)

The main things for indoors are a good base and a cold snow wax. Your a bangs have a extruded base which will suck indoors. They won't hold wax and will just be slow. A good sintered base will be so much better. However these bases are usually not found on more price point skis, except for the atomic infamous. It's partly this reason I think the infamous is one of not only the best value skis at the moment but actually one of the best overall park skis.

Which dome do you ride? Your lucky enough to be able to demo at any of the domes but personally if recommend dealing with brighams if you can.

But skis I would try are the infamous, ar7 or thall. They will work really well indoors but also all shred the mountain when you get out on the mountains.
