Before you let this post slip through the cracks of NS, i need some help on finding a new pair of skis. I stupidly ran them over with my car today, and when i sat them down in front of my car to take my boots off i thought to myself, 'better not run them over' and sure enough I did. So now im in the market for new skis, my previous skis were scratch ecos, i ski 75% park and 25% powder when i go to Colorado, i want somewhat of a wide ski but not to big. Plus im 5, 11, and weigh 115.

My main ideas were:
Skogens
Mike Nicks
MSP
Trouble Makers

165's for a 6 foot kid? I am the same height and ride no less than 175. I am on 180's right now.

I'd laugh at you if i saw you on 165's at 6 foot tall. Get atleast over 175, im 5'10 and ride a 176 .
Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

pick up a pair of msps

skiing should be like mcdonalds...sure they started out with just hamburgers, them they progressed to breakfest sandwiches and salads and mcflurries. we all love the new stuff, but we still love the old stuff as well. so its a good thing they still offer the hambrugers with their mc flurries and breakfast combos -joeengel

get the new mike nicks, they are 178, have 86mm underfoot, and have the burliest bases and edges in the business. they also have a softer flex pattern than the skogens.

no one had the line pro modles instock for a good price, and the msp are to wide for me, and the good people at jibij read my post and said they had some fujis, basicly the same ski demesion wise so i went with that, but with new bindings do i need a wide brake?

from personal experiance, i found the fugis to be too soft, but you're light so it shouldn't be a problem, you can bend your normal brakes to fit.

not to be blunt but if you read my second post i purchased Fugis. I want to know if they need a wide brake or the standard will be fine. Bending them will be my last resort though
