My heads are getting pretty beat up and the bindings just self destructed again. I am looking into another ski so that i don't destroy my bc's.
I'm around 6' and 175 lb
I do a lot of rails yet would still like a ski for everywhere else on the mtn.
Durability is a key factor (As I am fed up with my equipment self destructing).
Any suggestions?

well, were you coming off mad trix? cause that sounds like the best ski for yah. but if not, id suggest 4frnt MSPs. one of the most durrable skis out, and they will DESTROY all mountain. plus they are super light, unlike the heads.



i looked on google but all i could find was 3D Animation porn-sxmarty6



ECS headwear, hit me up!

i just tried some 1st year pe's and the old orange line skogens
loved how light the line's were, and their pop of the jumps.
I didn't like the chatter
I liked how the pe's skied out of park and their spring in the pipe
I didn't like their performance on the jumps.

Are the new chronic's less chattery?
armada's?

180 liberty stealth - great all around ski, meduim flex, easy to butter, tons of pop, super light, nicly balanced swing wieght.

177 chronic - stiffer flex,

177 Stl - i hear it's a softer ski.

I have only ridden the stealths. All of them have bomber construction, thicker bases, bigger stronger edges, and are all rider owend.
If you have the chance to ski them do so.
If price is a factor grab the pair you can the cheapest, and make sure you get a really good binding. Im sure you would be happy with any of them.

you mentioned k2s earlier and those are the only ones I can speak for...I don't know what you were talking about them not being good on jumps though...I have the 03/04 ones (white topsheet, red sidewall) and they are the sweetest skis I've had so far (some rossis, the airtwists, and the volkl v-ski place all behind them for sure)









i hope harvey bans you just so i can piss on your digital grave.

have some 159 Public Enemies, 05. I used them once for three runs and i will sell them for 400. They are 400 dollar skis with 250 dollar bindings(Salomon s811 ti axe) The bases are in perfecxt condition and the top has one small (2mm by 3mm) wrinkle in the top sheet, but they are absolutley perfect. I didnt grind on them either. Please reply back at Fischerboy0@msn.com

Altough I did not like them, the Chronics are an awesome ski. I was coming off a 1080 and the Chronic was a LOT stiffer. The Chronic is a very light ski, but is stiff and rock solid. I found carving switch on them the easiest of any other ski I have tried. Beefy edges and bases along with the maple core make them very durable.
