Replying to Ski buying advice for an old head
I haven't skied heavily in several years and want to get back on the hill regularly. I skied on a pair of Rossi Scratch Ghettos for years. Blew out an edge on a rail, JB Welded it back in, held for another 2 years. Things were tanks but they're dead now. My other skis are some Surface prototypes I came across for basically free. They're like 135 wide double rocker, I bought them for Wyoming powder but have been using them as all mountain skis for the past few years. People make fun of me.
I want a new pair of sticks for when it's not deep pow. I've really gotten used to the double rocker and love it a lot. Back in the day you had rocker park skis like Kung Fujas and I wanted to get something like that. But it seems all park skis now are rocker/camber/rocker. I like not having a perceptible edge lol. Running length of like just the boots. But not insanely wide. Any recommendations?
If that's not a thing anymore, I haven't kept up with the tech so it might not be. Basically ima do big mountain and maybe hit some jump lines. Was never big on rails. I don't get crazy on jumps, prolly 60 feet max. And I do pretty serious sidecountry out West, cliff drops, no fall zones sometimes. If it's not mandatory drops I'm basically hitting it. I always rode this stuff on just like park skis, and now I'm riding it on boats. So yeah I'd appreciate any advice.
Oh and if you can get them in a longer length that's dope. My Rossis were 181 but I'd really like around 190. Also I'd prefer something I can get outet/used.
