Hey whats up guys. im looking to buy some new skis for my first season out in banff. i already have some dull carving skis and im looking at getting either two pairs for skiing park and powder or possibly one good all-rounder. Ive been looking at heads the caddy, atomic infamous, k2 sight as park skis and then possibly the k2 shreditor 92 as an allrounder. i want something fun for butters that can hold up on big kickers. also would the 92's be decent in pow?
please help

150 days at lake louise/banff area last season, used the caddy alot because it was in rental fleet. Fun ski, can't go wrong with a full cambered park ski really. holds up really well on the 55,60ft jumps, stable as.
can't comment on k2's.

If you go one ski quiver, I'd go the Shredititor 92. If you do pow and park skis that's a whole different ball game and you'd have to narrow down you're search to some better options.

How about the yles, sfbs, or kartels. Kartels will probably hold up best on kickers but all are great all the time.

cheers guys i will look into these. ive also been looking at the nordica soul rider as an allround ski. worried it may be a bit too flexy for pow days
