My buddy just offered to sell me his opuses with atomic sth 16's for $350. I ski mostly in the park at snoqualmie on a pair of thalls (currently my only pair of skis) but i also go up to stevens or alpental when it has snowed recently, and when i do the thalls dont do too well in the deeper snow. However when i ski in the park, my jump game is WEAK. I can land 3s and 5s with some grabs and have landed a few 7s but have never learned anything more than that (i cannot backflip on a trampoline either). I could also spend my $350 to buy a decent trampoline on craigslist and hopefully this would lead to improvement in the park.

Sparknotes: should i buy opuses or a trampoline?

This. As long as they're in good condition that's a tight setup.

There in perfect condition, its just that my friend blew out his ankle on the first run he took on them so now he hates them and wants to get rid of them

600$ skis + 350$ bindings = >350

Opuses for sure!

Start learning tricks on BC booters. I've found I'm able to go bigger when I don't have an icy park landing to worry about. Plus, pow and all mountain is just more fun on fatter skis. You won't enjoy 25cms of fresh on THalls, I think. Or at least, as much as pow skis.

Who's your friend? I might know him.

Qualmie loks.

Also, if you don't buy them tell your friend I will.
