I love my skis, but everyone (shops, on the lift, etc.) to get some new double tip/twin tip skis. I was told this site might help me out? I want an all mountain ski, great for pow.

Well, how much of each are you going to do? in my opinion, the atomic tweak is a great all mountain ski because its stiff enough to pack heat on the groomers, and has a decent enough girth to screw around in the pow with...

I guess more all mountain groomers than powder (depending on conditions). I ski a salomon F9 195cm and love how it skis so have never bought anything newer?

LINE ASSASSIN MTX PRO....absolutely definately look into them. excellent carving ski and all-mountain ski. i have a pair and love them. they have gotten awesome reviews, even by race people who hate twin-twips. you will not be dissapointed!

if no local shops have em, you can get Line skis on online shops. If you don't need a TRUE twin tip ski, I'd say get the Rossignol Bandit B2. A bit of a twin, really nice carving and probably the best ski in powder for a ski of it's dimensions.

Research into Line, K2, Armada, 4FRNT too. They all make good skis.

def get armada or 4frnt lines cool too get a ski made by a company that only makes twins that way your supportin the movement. K2 and volkl are the best not all twin company then dynastar prob then rossi then atomic then salomon. Armada ar5 180 could be good you ride 195 so that may be small but if you get into freestyle park then 180 could be good. maybe some big volkl karmas or 4frnt msps or arvs. seriously research it for at least 1-2 months you are obviously new to freestyle so learn about every ski then start amkin cuts. there are prob almost 70 different twins out so..... get started.
