K2 Public Enemies. They're good all over the place, as well as park.

I'm going to throw the K2 Fujatives in there as well. I've demoed them and they handle suprisingly well outside the park. Plus you can probably get them for around 300 bucks if you know where to look.

the fujatives Deff. For a biggener, those would hold up rly well. Unless you just want a more tricked out ski (public enemy)

i dont like suggesting chinese skis, but the fujative is a good idea. they are cheap, fun, and ski well, especially if you are going ot ski only a few times a year. the price tag can get pretty low at the end of the season too, like down around $150 at some shops
binding destruction count: 3 so far this season, one pair of lines and two pairs of rossis: what will be next?

There were some complaints about last years not holding up well on rails, but really, between a metal rail and any ski, the rail's going to win. TM's just seem to get beaten up a little sooner than most.

if you like to ski outside of the park sometimes, then go with the PE's with a salomon s810Ti binding. i got my setup for cheap in toronto.

if you're looking at spending all(or almost all) of your time in the park, go with the fujatives. you can get those for mad cheap pretty much anywhere in ontario.

just think to yourself how much time you'll be spending in the park and then make a decision
