I'm a intermediate/advanced skier but not to great in the park (19 yrs old. 5'11", 150). I'm looking for a pair of skis that I can carve groomers with and also be able to start throwing stuff in the park more. Definitely a pair of twin tips. I was looking at the El Reys and K2 Extremes but would like to hear from some vets. Any suggestions?

Cool, thanks for the reply. I'll check em out.

I'd say my style is 70% groomers/10% powder/ 20% park

Try the Atomic Vantage Rival. For the percentages you suggested they would be great

They do look good for me. What about the Line Prophet 85s or 90s? I'd like to get skiis that I can really grow into and use for a long time. Any thoughts?

I like the Armada El Reys a lot, quite stiff, carves groomers very well and is not very expensive :)

i would go with a k2 press, or domain. both good intermediate to advanced skis. i have been on my presses for 4 straight seasons now. crazy durability, and relatively light. and cost effective too.

When I first got into park I was on the k2 press. Although the topsheet wasnt the best, they were some pretty solid skis. They held up well on groomers, and they were great in the park, mad light too.

why does everyone hate on masterminds, they were my first twins and i had no problems at all. They were super light and so buttery and they were sufficient enough for all mountain skiing
