These are pretty cheap for a pair of skis, only 200$ for the 2011 version.. Has anybody ridden these, and if so what do you rate them when riding either powder/ all mountain/ park? I only got a chance to ride my friends no times for an hour and they were pretty small on me (169 i think it was) and im 6' tall so if i were to buy a pair of them for myself what length would you recommend the 174 or 182?

And if you absolutely cant stand surface no time skis and want to suggest another park/all mountain ski (under 95mm underfoot and under 400$) for me please do so.

+k to all helpful posts.

They are specifically a park ski. I don't think they'd excel at all in the powder. Get a 182, 174 is just too small.

There has been cases of them snapping.
If you want something a little beefier, check out the Double Time in a 182. 90 mm waist. Stiffer flex. It's their best park ski, and it will still be able to manage the rest of the mountain.

this guy has it...the no times are a pure park ski, they wouldnt perform at all in powder.

the double times are great. i have this years. they perform great in the park and all mountain. i've have down some pow and tree runs with them and they did great. i think they come in a 180 cm not 182 however.

yeah i personally wouldn't recommend them....im your same height & I got the 182's, loved them at first....but they snapped after 10 days of riding. Pretty weak durability. I would recommend something like the k2 Domain, or you can find CoreUpt park skis for cheap

Yeah, they're really quite fun...right up until they break.

Not ALL of the break, it seems to be hit or miss, but I had first hand experience with a pair that snapped in half and the pair I got from warrantee I haven't spent too much time on, but they're certainly fun.

so i had my no times since the summer the've just been sitting in the plastic untill around november when i mounted em with some fks's. the second day on them i sheared the toe piece in half. i had some fks's on my abangs so when those broke two weeks ago i pulled the bindings off and remounted my no times. i was super amped for some fresh stick and was stoked on how these skis played in the park. but on the 18th my tall got all bent to shit and now it looks like the 3stage rockered surfaces..

i bought some icelantic pilgrims and am waiting on some PX15s. decided to go for a durable setup.
