Hey NS,

I'm looking to pick up a pair of skis for this season and need help on the decision...

I ski a lot of trees as most of my season is spent at Gore Mountain, and love skiing fast on groomers but my home mountain is mt. creek which is basically a park on a hill so I need to be able to play in the park comfortable as well. I think I'd be best suited for something with a 90< waist.

I am also 16, around 5 foot 10, and 145-150ish lbs.

I would like the skis to last me at least 2-3 seasons and binding recommendations would be sweet. Aaalso I'd like to not destroy my wallet so I dont care about having this years models on anything.

Any help would be awesome and if I wasn't clear about anything please ask.

Thanks!

Any solid 12-13 din binding will work for you( axial 12, 13 driver, attack 13).
It sounds like you would like a full camberd ski. Would respond better on the groomers and help going faster.
Armada el Rey or icelantic pilgrim comes to mind. Kinda drunk right now and on iPod.
Check out evo.com and look up there outlet page you should find something good there that's cheap(relative).

Yooo thanks for the help but forgot to mention I actually want something with some tip/ tip and tail rocker as I'd consider myself a pretty aggressive skiier at least for my age and would like some rocker for crud/tree/powder day/you know what I mean. Thanks again.
