Looking to buy some new ski's and my buddy offered to sell me is 2010 salomon threats 176's for $100 no bindings. Another friend offered me 2011 4frnt TNK 180's with bindings for $100. I am about 6 foot and weigh 230 ski mostly mountain but I'm learning in the park. What is my best decision?

The tnk is a best choice I think considering your weigth. Definetly more stiff. (wood core, sidewall....)

Expect a lot of chip on the cosmethic.

I've always loved my TNK's. The older ones had like a 26 turning radius so really good bomber skis, I think the newer ones are a bit tighter. Either way, liked them. Good and stiff, solid ski. 4FRNT and Armada just feel right to me but maybe I'm not the best to ask since I haven't ridden any other in the last few years
