My skis and bindings from 2013 are pretty much thrashed at this point so I'm looking to re-up on new gear next year. I'm an intermediate park skier for sure and an expert everywhere else I guess. I'm looking for a solid all mountain park ski but more of a park ski if that makes any sense. I also want a ski that's a little wider under foot, we get a shit ton of pow in southern Oregon. Got any suggestions? Also when it comes to park/ freestyle bindings I dont know shit about shit or what to look for so let me know whats good. What do ya'll think?

How wide are you looking for and around what length do you ride? There are a few that come to mind but that depends on sizing.

As far as bindings go there are plenty of threads on here about them. Some of the popular bindings are the FKS/Pivot line, Tyrolia AAAtacks, Marker Royal Family and the Salomon STH lines.

if you want an all mountain park ski then check out Moment Pb&j's, Icelantic Nomads, On3p kartel 98's or Faction Candide 2.0s. All of those are solid skis for park/ all mountain (I've ridden Pb&j's and 2.0's) but look around and find skis that fit what you want. As for bindings I don't know much outside of park but Pivots/Fks work fine for me in park and just ripping around.

Idk hope this helps somehow

I was thinking about getting these for next year but the only thing keeping me away is the weight. If I'm pretty light for my height do u think that would be too much of a problem

They are on the stiffer side but have rocker in the tips and tails so you can butter them real well
