Looking for something 79-90 underfoot-ish around 172-180

Uses:

1. Moguls
2. Groomers
3. Park

About me:

135 lbs
5'9''
20% park
50% moguls
30% groomers

Skis I have looked into:

Bluehouse antics (cheap, sizes are good)

Surface double time (sizes are off, wish there was a 175)

Surface no time (little narrow)


Also looking for something very cheap. So used, demos etc is preferred (pm me for details)

If you went and spent A little extra money you could buy some Volkl walls. very stiff park ski. Sounds like what you want.

Buyer beware: you get what you pay for.  Brand new $300.00 skis are nicely priced but your buying brand new skis at only $300.00. A good long lasting ski these days you can expect at $400 unless its a super sale.

K2 Recoil; Stable on the hardpack especially at your weight, rocker tip and tail so it'll be fun in the bumps and trees, and pretty decent in the park.
