What to get for skis

I've been rocking my line invaders for nearly 4 years now and it's time to move on. But instead of buying one expensive park ski, I want to have a small quiver to chose from. I've thought about the new chronic for a long time but its pretty pricey. Now I'm leaning towards the AR7 and maybe a not so expensive pow ski like the '11 chopstick. (I live in maine) The skis I've looked at seem pretty reasonable on ebay. I'm 6'3 and like 160 ish. Any thoughts?

If your looking to buy second hand skis I would look on B/S/T here or hit up TGR. Living on the ice coast I can't imagine you would want something huge for pow days, I wouldn't go above 110 underfoot.

I doubt I'll buy used skis, but I've been looking at last years models and the year before. The Chopsticks were so appealing because of the price

well thank you just make sure not to land directly on the tails i did that with mine and learned surface skis have a weakness when it comes to tip to ground impact

I'd be interested, but I definatly can't afford another ski. I'd be interested in the bindings though depending on the brake size and condition
