i would have to say none of ur skis can beat my 215 kastle skis. with a boiled tail that was held under a door to flair the tip. what now bitches u aint got shit on me. they r so awsome in powder and turning u only can make 2 turns by the bottom of the mountain. they will kill any one else.

I have 179 cm. K2 PE's and they rip. They are awesome outside the park. They work surprisingly well in the bumps and steeps too. Also the tails are huge for landing switch. If you want them to be better for switch stuff, rails, or park in general, mount them a few centemeters forward. Everyone here is going to be fairly biased about their own skis. The best way is to demo as many pairs as possible and figure it out yourself.

Get the Trouble Makers! They ski as well out of the park as any other ski I've ever had.

pocket rockets. THeyre fat for the powder, twintip for park, and really lightweight for the rest of the mountain.

Mad Trix System, with the system its a little heavy but you can either take it off or keep it on which enables you to use Big Air or Big Mountain

I think unless you're planning on doing real race-like carving and turning, most mid-fat twins will carve fine for you. I ski Line Mike Nicks and I think they carve fine. I actually raced trained on them for a little bit, didn't really notice much problems. However, from everything I've heard about them, the Trouble Makers are supposed to be VERY good at all-mtn. And whoever asked about the best ALL-park ski, i've never heard a single bad remark from anyone riding Line 1260's. Super light, lots of pop, and very balanced.

^ Im with him. Volkl dont make the V-pro any more though, they have gone to the karma. Its now 87 or 89mm underfoot, instead of 83, which is better in powder, worse for edge-to-edge.



In tractor pulls, a 'full pull' is the best you can get. Ahh, how sport mirrors life.

YEAAAA RIIIGHTTTTT hoyl crap man t hat is not a bomb proof ski! nobody can really tell yiu what the bets ski is obviously its all preference but no1 has ridden them all and only the ppl who have can really say anythign , the people who say lines obviously r riding lines that seems ot be the way it works. but the ski that iv seen that almost all critics loved are the armadas , real riders who knwo what they want always love that ski

^^ Soryy, but over here in australia the v-pros are damn hard to find at all, and they have already ordered the karmas. Screwed me up, I was gonna get some for next season.
