Hello NS!

I've been on this site a couple of years now, basically as my home page, checking out edits each an everyday. I love skiing but I've kind of gotten side-tracked the last couple of years with other things occupying my time. Simply haven't skied at all as much as I'd like.

Anyway,
me and my brother are planning on going to the european alps the coming season and I need some help for my first pair of real skis. Preferably all mountain. Don't have a lot of knowledge as far as skis go, so I need your help!

I was thinking about these: http://armadaskis.com/product/skis/ltd-series/bubba/
as there (hopefully!) will be a lot of pow in the alps, but I still want to be able to ride the park and slide rails every now and then.

I'd like for them to not cost more than 500$, but as I said, I want quality...

Thanks!

1. Gear Talk and more info about size and weight for an accurate recommendation

2. The coming season? Like next season? Get out there brahh

3. this is your first pair and you want to make ensure your skis are capable of sliding rails?

4. Only a weekend skiing? Try renting maybe and learning how to shred the gnar before purchasing..
