i am looking to buy some new skis and am fairly new to the skiing scene so i would like your input. i ski 100% park and live on the east coast. my hill consists of mostly rails and a few small jumps. the ski must be good for popping onto rails. also i am 6'1 200lbs. from your experience which ski would best suit me?

thanks ns

Look for a ski that's in the high 170cms to mid 180cms and that's between 85mm and 95mm (about), Check out next years K2 Domains (179cm), Line Afterbangs (177cm), Line Step Ups (184cm), Liberty LTEs (178cm), and Armada THalls (181). All of those are really good for East Coast park and are long enough to suit you.

if you have a decent local ski shop, go to it and ask them. you can deffinitely get good info on here, but you get a lot more confusing and shitty info.

BASIC PARK SKI INFO: you should be looking for a ski thats about eyebrow height (a little longer is fine). keep in mind, you can go longer than non park skis because you are going to be mounting them closer to the center of the ski.

thank you for all your input i am debating between the t-halls and the blue steeles. what bindings would work well with those skis? i had sth 14s on my previous skis but had a lot of problems with them.

thanks again
