I have been looking around at the 2011 skis that are starting to come out and I need some help choosing. If you have a different ski in mind that you think would be better let me know..I was first thinking about getting the Armada Ar7's they are supposed to amazing skis because they are gonna be better than the AR6's. I was also looking at the Line Chronic Cryptonite which looks like an awesome All Mtn Ski. I was also looking at the other two All Terrain Line skis, and those being the Mastermind and the Blend. Let me know what I should get. I am 6'2 and 210. Also if you could add what bindings you would suggest. I mostly ski in the Park but I am just starting out doing spins and the more challenging rails and boxes, I also like to ski all around the Mountain, on the groomers and a little bit of the trees.

Thanks,
Bill

crypt would be a pretty solid choice, but also look into the on3p jeronimo, i think those would be right up your alley as far as what you are looking for in a ski.


personally i dont think the anthem or mastermind are going to be comparable to the cryptonite and j-mo, which i think would be better options for you.

For the crypt would you think I should go for the 183 or the 178?

183 is a pretty safe bet with your size. Plus if you're growing anymore you'll really like the litlle extra length.

im the same size as you with 10lbs less weight and all my skis are 185 and above...so go with the 183 as a minimum length no matter what skis you get.
