Tried most of the ski brands out there that have been named already aside from ON3P... that being said, I give my vote to APO. Best skis I have ever used hands down. No one else has come close although my HG's were kickass and beat out everything else aside from APO

The G-butter, by Fat-y-pus, hands down, made me a better skier. I used to be so good at lip 2's, then I got on kung fujas's. I have more fun cruisin for sure, but I cant even lip 2 anymore its like the buttery tails don't recoil in time I taco every time.

Atomic blows. I got a pair of punx for this season and hate them. Very stiff ski. Its like you have two 182 cm boners strapped to your feet.

I ski rails all the time I personally like them a lot. The first time using them wax them and it takes a little to dull the edges, but they are sweet as hell! I'm 115 lbs and 5' 10" (so a super small guy saying they are light)

I love 4frnt. I tend to stick to the same ski once I find something I like. Once I get a ski dialed, I don't like to change very much. My ski for pow and the week after a storm, and longer if the windbuff is good, is a 4frnt EHP 186. I absolutely love it, so much so that when they discontinued the EHP I bought another pair so I can stay on this ski for as long as possible. I have not mounted my second pair up yet, I am just waiting until the ones I have are thrashed. 4frnt has a great line up, and Hoji makes some great skis.

Love riding my line blends but durability sucks (2 edge cracks with 2 days of rails)
My on3p filthy rich KILL IT in the park but aren't as fun to carve around on.

I can't decide between the 2

what shocks me about them is I heard that 4FRNT was having some financial issues (hate to get all gossipy), which blows my mind because honestly the devastators and the YLEs are two of the best skis I have ever had the pleasure of riding. The first outing on my YLE's kicked my ass but after a few more (really stupid deep) days of skiing, I was having a hard time leaving them behind at home haha, I would bring both the devys and YLEs up and make a game-time decision on which skis to ride.

I also love to support local brands, too. Theyre main HQ is down in salt lake so I feel good giving hard earned dollars to a rad group of people close to home that keep the love flowin through.

Got some frankenskis this season. Never have I loved a pair of glorified pieces of wood so much.

They're durability could rival filthy riches
