Well, I will be in southern ontario on the 23, 24th and 25th, where there are alot more shops. I was on 176 t-halls, and they have kicked the bucket. I want a ski with a summilar flex, and not too fat. Im thinking about 80mm-86mm.I could go as long as a 177, or as short as a 174, but 175 or 176 is preferable. Any ideas? Cash isnt too much of an issue. I have access to armada, 4frnt, rossi, salomon, atomic, or k2. I SKI ALMOST ALL PARK, (98%), LOTS OF JUMPS AND RAILS, SWITCH RIDING IS A FAVOURITE OF MINE. I AM ABOUT 5'7 and 140lbs. IM NOT TO HARD ON SKIS, BUT EDGE DURRABILITY IS A MUST sorry about the caps, dont want ppl to miss it. so any ideas are great.

I have a pair of Dynastar Dave Crichton Pro's. I love them, about 80mm fat and 175 long. That are holding up pretty well after a year of riding ie no delaming/edge issue. I ski 95% park and love them. Stiffness is medium.

well if you liked the flex of the t-halls you could definitely pick those up again, STL's are along the same lines too. Dumonts would be good for ya too.

My 05/06 TMs have some topsheet chips, edges are fully intact. I skied about 12days on them last year, 20~+ this year, holding well.

if you liked the thalls i would try those again. but.......if money isn't an issue think about getting rossi wrs's. I got a pair and they are money. Unbelievably light. I went up a size and width from my last pair (the purple ones) and they are still lighter. Plus the wrs has the variable flex with a denser core under foot than in the tips and tails. Buttery smooth in the park and no chatter at all off big jumps or on the mountain. Got em at -2cm and they ski switch just fine.
