I am wondering what I should buy? The Thruster's I can get for 250usd or the flyers for 200usd. Can someone tell me the difference? The weight is less than a half pound, anything else? I weigh 125lbs and am 5'7, what do you reccomend? These are for all mountain park, and trees.

The skis are both 2007.

I think the flyers are a more beginner park ski

What I really want is a cheap twintip that skis trees well and pow alright. Park is about 3 on the list. Trees are the top. At park I would say I'm begginer-intermediate.

I looked at the foil, unfourtunatley it is more money than I would like to spend. I thought that the flyer and thruster were essentially the same ski but the flyer was for lighter people? I thought they were a good all mountain ski and also heard they turn very well.

You can get Foil's for less than 300 right now. You'll love them all mountain.
