Long story short, I have preordered Jski's Firsts! but it doesn't look like I will have them in time before I leave for a trip to Colorado. I live in Michigan, ski 99% park. I am 6'4, 190ish. I need something about 184 in length, with at least 95 waist. I've already owned 2 pairs of jmos (both are broken now). I've been looking at Ltoros. Any ideas NS? I need to have my decision made in the next couple of days. +k for any insight Also, price really isn't an issue at this point

Also, it must have rocker. And I've also been told I have an Ahmet type style fi that helps at all

Line Blends! Rockered tip/tail ski with 100 waist. The tip/tail are also super soft so they are a BLAST to press and butter on anything you come across. I ride these hard everywhere (groomers, park, pow) and they have been amazing in all conditions.

Since you're 190, they may be too soft of a ski for you (depends what you like)...in that case check out the sir francis bacons. They're a less park oriented ski since they have more rocker, a bit stiffer, and have a 108 waist...but I've talked with many people that ride them in the park and they have said they're great everywhere just as the blends.

I would have suggested the Jmos, so maybe the Al Dentes?

Why not just continue doing this and save like $700 for a single weekend?

Sadly, they've taken quite a few core shots and the edge is starting to tear out on the older ski. And it's not just a single weekend, it's a 13 day trip. Plus college paid off and I don't mind spending money for a new set
