So I've finally grown out of my old k2's and im in need of new skis. I'm lookin for something with camber underfoot, and some sort of rocker or early rise thing going on in the tip and tail. I'd like something lightweight, flexy, and playful in the park, but something that could rip groomers confidently too. Ive done a shit ton of research but i just haven't found what would be the right ski for me. For what it's worth im 5'8" and about 140lbs. Any suggestions? Thanks

I hear nothing but good things about the chronics. Also one ski u might want to check out is the k2 domains they are rad I have not heard one bad thing about them. Or If ur looking for a super cheap ski the house boardshop has the 2010 surface no times going for 200. So u can check all of that stuff out man.

I've only heard good things about the K2 Domains and the Line Chronics. Either of those would be a good choice.

YEAH dude it will be pretty decent on the groomers! its not gonna be the best park ski on the groomers but it will do just fine! im buying mine in couple weeks... and i demoed the halos at my friends mountain and its hands down the best ski i have ever skiied on!!!!!!!!!!!! its so light and poppy! such a light swing weight and its sooo good for rails and jibs! pretty good on jumps to! im so stoked to be riding on it next year for next ski season! and im riding this years domains for this years ski and its a pretty good ski! really buttery and great for jibbing around! its pretty flexy but its not to flexy were your gonna be unstable on jumps! i would reccomened that ski to you to if you can get a good deal on it... but i would get the halos...
