I now have salomon all mtn 160's. I ski mostly in New York on groomers. I'm going to Breckinridge over spring break and am looking for a twin tip ski. I want it to be able to handle some pow but still carve the groomers back in NY. I do basic arials and sometimes some rails and boxes. What kind of skis do you suggest and should i move up to a bigger ski like 170s?

naw dude, the Fujative in the 169cm would be a great buy. It can handle pow, and is a blast on groomers. the public enemy is a super stiff ski, and I'm 6' and about 210lbs.

man what's with all the kids thinking that PEs and such are stiff? Have you never ever ridden a stiff ski before? I'll tell you it's not a PE.

Anyways, fugatives are a good ski in park, but chatter in high speed turns. go with the Public enemies.

get 179's, Im 5'10 and they fit me prefect, the lenght help's out especially if you want them as an all mountain ski a 169 might work for park but would suck ass in crud/choopy snow/powder. Get the 179's or youll regret it.

Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.
