No need to buy twin tips, they're too expensive. Buy some race skis and just bend the tails up. Works good

2014 Atomic Punx 176. Picked them up cheap as like-new demos of from an NSer. Definitely recommend going this way, especially for your first pair.

Just rode my 2014 Vice for the first time today during a throw Down session and they were amazing. So hyped to ne able to ride on more than 5 ft patches of snow at the start and end of a rail. Super weird starting at first because they were 20cm longer than my old skis, but they were so fun even in the small amount of snow there was. First rockered ski too

Just picked up some Atomic Automatics 109, I was hoping they'd be good all round resort ski that is still fairly capable in the park. Now I'm concerned about they're park? How are they in the park? around the resort?
P.S. Im bigger 5'8 185lbs and am used to riding on bigger skis

Do you like your masterminds? I picked up a pair off backcountry for like $230 for this year, and haven't seen many reviews. I based it on price and having liked previous years masterminds

Yeah they've treated me very well so far. They're nothing crazy special but I've had mine for 6 years now and they are still trucking on, still nice and poppy. They're pretty light to throw around in the park too.

I tend to avoid park unfortunately, rather make a nice little jump away from the piste :)

-Volkl Racetiger Speedwall GS (13) a goddamn piste ripper.

-Rossi Soul 7 (14) whenever i need to collect my gnar points (im a light guy, so the soft flex hasn't been a problem yet).
