I got 179 fujatives this year, and I like how soft they are, but I want something a bit longer.  I knowthere's the invaders, but they get cut off at 178 too, what else is out there?  I'm trying to decide what to buy now so if there's a closeout sale or something like that on this years stuff I'll be on that like a................uh I can't think of anything but I want to be prepared.

No worrys dude, the ARV is an awesome ski, you don't need pow to have ARVs, they are super sweet all over, especailly if you like a soft ski, they are fine for park.

Chill out man. I was just stating that you dont NEED a ski that is longer then 180. It wasn't pointless.

Elan M02. Maybe a bit firmer that you'd like but they come in 185 and ski really nicely. Durable too.

anyone else think its funny that of all the descriptions of the twintips on that sierra site, the STL is the only one they say will pobably not last more than one year. i realize that any ski that is skied hard won't last very long either, but that doesn't say a lot for the STL's construction.

4FRNT warranty are DOPE!

Scott; I'm 6', 6'1 and have 183 STL's and I've never been happier in my life. Edges are super solid, and the bases, but the top sheet chips like any other sidewall ski, which is nothing to worry about.

And for 275 friggen dollaz; GET THEM!

Good luck in your choice.

I dunno I'm torn. The stl's seem like a sweet deal, but I know when ski time comes around again, I'll want to buy all the new pretty skis. But that offer prolly won't stay forever.

The specs look good but they ride like shit - I tried them last spring. The tips are even softer than Fujatives, so floppy and uncontrolable at speed.
