Im interested in this ski, either this years, or last years model, both in a 178cm length. Im 5'10 and growing, and 160 lbs. Ill be mounting centre, or just past centre at 2cm forward. Im looking to purchase these as my Ar6's are delaming after 2 days of riding. My Ar6's were a warranty ski, so I basically have to ride them out, which I expect them to die by late February. So, heres the situation:


Ive been looking online for the P3's in a 178. The only sites that have them are proctorjones and getboards, but I would like to avoid getboards if possible.

However, I have seen them for 350$ at Tramdock.com, but they dont have a 178. Im wondering if anyone knows of a site that has these skis in stock in a 178cm.

Also, if possible, I would like to try to find last years model so I can save a bit of cash, as I still need to buy bindings for them.

Any other information on durrability/flex/value of these skis would be greatly appreciated, but Ive done my homework reading reviews and such.

Thanks again,

However, I dont have my heart set on these. Im basically looking for something like this:

Under 350$
Can be last years ski
Less than an 85mm waist
Between 174 and 180cm
Medium flex, similar to that of an Ar6
I would like durrability
No Invaders or Fujas

Some skis Im also intersted in are:

9th's Butterlicious's for 280$
Trouble Makers for 230$



Any other skis from last season that are cheap are also appreciated

A little too soft for what Im looking for.

Do you know how well 9's hold up, and how stiff the butterlicious's are compared to a T-Hall or Ar6?

I really like my TM's, last years I think. The green and black ones. A little too stiff for me, but I'm really lightweight so that's probably part of it. Just my 2 cents.

Mine have help up really well after a couple weeks of skiing. So far they seem very legit.

I hope you mean 2 cm forward from recommended boot center and not from ski center.  Why would you ski forward from core center?
