Well, i need a pair of twin tips for this year. I just started park about last year and obviously, my current atomic c:9's wont work very well. I demoed on 1080's last year and didnt like them all to much. So what kind of skis/bindings do you suggest i get? I am 5'9, 130 lbs, i live in new england so i need something that would go well for all mountain, and would hold in ice, as well as park.

179cm K2 Public Enemies, but were gonna need a little more on what your riding type is... Like, do you like to ride switch? Forwards? Stuff like that...

Well, i ride forwards usually, sometimes switch, but i would like to improve on that. I would need skis for jumps, rails, groomed trails, and glades. Dont really like moguls.

yes well then the cheapest new ones are the k2 fujatives, and they are also amazing. if they were twice as much people would still love them. but 400 total? see ebay for a complete package. a used line package from someone is probably what you'll find. 2003-2004 skogens are great and cheap. the nicks usually go for a little more even though they're basiclly the same. but still the fujatives are probably the best bang for your buck out there.

And sexy as hell.

Look P12. A lot of people don't like Salomon's, you would have to use them to see if you like them.

i think 179's are good enough for me...afterall, i learned how to do boxes, rails, and jumps on carving skis with big heavy plates on the bottom...
