Alright sorry to bother everyone with another one of these threads, but i need urs guys expert advice. Im about 174 cm 145 pounds, i live in qc so i pretty much ride park/groomed and a bit of pow once in a while. Im no expert but i can 540 and do most rails easily, but im lookin for a good twin that will help me progress and last the season
so far ive considered these :
176 mojo
176 ar5
176 skogens
176 1260s
175 tm/belans
179 pes
179 fujatives
174 scratch fs
170/180 msp
any advice appreciated, thx again

those are all real good skis man you won't go wrong with any of them. Personally though, my opinion I would go with the 175 tm/or belans. I am riding TM's and they are real nice and light, and I was on candides before these big difference. 145 is pretty light in weight, 180 may be a little to big to wip around or if ur lookin for that extra 180 in your spin somethin 170-175 may give you an edge. Just my opinion though

Have you ridden your STL's yet? I know you just got them from reading in some threads. I'd look into them if money wasn't an issue.

hey thx for all the great replies guys...ive narrowed it down a bit
pes
stls
ar5s
skogens
i got a few questions tho:
1. for the pes, would it be better to go with the 169 or 179 and centermount them ?
2.how much do u think a pair of stls is gonna cost me...say some 04s or even used 04s ? my main concern isnt really price, but if im gonna dish out the extra 150 i want them to last...so hows the durability on the stls
3.has anyone ridden the 04's skogens, how are they and is there any difference between those and the new ones

the durability is fine, and with a 2 year warrantee, you cant go wrong

basically anything, cracked edges, de-laming, breaking, im not sure about rail damage though, but i raid that 4frnts are pretty much indestructable on rails

there is no last years, this is the first year, depending on how tall you are, i say anywhere from like 5'8-6'0' go for 177, which is what i have, anything under that go for 167

liberty has a 3 yr warrenty? crazay companies should get into warrenty wars like we will cover this this and this and another company will be like o ya we will cover that that and that plus this this and this and ad a yr to the warrenty. that would be cool for us skiers but not likely to happen
dont get it twisted
