i currently have the volkl walls, havent mounted them yet but they are going to be ridden on marker jesters or rossi scratch 120s...im thinking jesters.
i work at a shop so dont mention line,surface,4frnt,armada,etc..
HOWEVER
ive been debating on a few skis to get as an all mountain twin, the mountain i usually ski on never gets any pow, especially this year considering we have no snow at all. so below 90 underfoot. since im an employee and we carry rossi,k2,volkl, atomic,etc..
rossignol ghetto
armada el rey ( i know i said not to mention armada but this ski is a nice all mtn and its cheap )
anything else? what do u guys prefer?

K2 Public Enemies are a perfect ski for your need, they are super tough and i like em. I have ride pes and they havent let me down. Only in powder a bit but you just have to work a little harder.

I know the gettoes are good but for park. I don't know about all mountain pe's are where you should go for the money. Seths are really good and about the same price as getto(i think)

think of them as a high quality/better performance model of the PE there lighter and more lively while still having a good ammount of stiffness if u are lookin into a stiff ski

if your not gonna ride any pow then you might be set with the walls... they are said to be not just a great park ski, but a pretty good all mountain ski too.

i love my scratch FS WRS... they rip great turns and are just about perfect for flex (im 150lbs and ride 176's) they kill it in and out of the park i would highly recommend them......
someone correct me if im wrong but the Ghettos are the same as last years scratches only with a different graphic..

and if i do get the ghettos, i am 6'0 (roughly) and about 150lbs so 174cm or 181, my walls are going to be true centre mounted and they are 177.

In my opinion, for all mountain purposes, get the Ghetto in a 181 size. And mount at the "Modern" line.

i was thinking of getting the ghettos and mounting -3 from modern so like halfway from modern and true, since i want to hit the park too with them but mostly jib and screw around on the piste.

Hi.
In all honesty, I don't think you need another pair. You want below 90 waist: Wall's are 87. You'll be fine just sticking with the walls.

"the mountain i usually ski on never gets any pow"
you don't need another ski. You don't ski powder, one park ski will suffice for both park and all mountain.

agreed.
most park skis rip groomers, and the walls have gotten good reviews for all mountain performance

I feel as if you were pretty set on the Ghettos before you posted this. Im going to say you def dont need a new pair. The Walls can do everything you want. There is not enough variation between the Ghettos and Walls to rationalize the purchase of the Ghettos
