Hey all, I'm looking for an affordable park riding setup. Need skis and bindings. Last season I rode Tom wallisch pro skis and look pivot 14s but the pivots broke 2 hours in and continued to break after that :( I have full tilts still! I was looking at K2 poachers??

How big are you?

Where do you ski?

What skis have you used and liked or disliked in the past?

%100 park? Or do you ride elsewhere?

What's your budget?

Can the bindings be refunded/replaced by Pivot if they broke that quick? Those shouldn't really break unless you blow them up. (Brakes don't count)

sorry to hear that about the pivots but if you want a more affordable (and lighter) but still sick binding, go with tyrolia attacks (13 or 16)

as for skis, what length are you looking for?

I'm 150 pounds 5'9'' and I ski 85% park because that's what's near me, as for price I'm looking mid range like 700$ altogether

You have tons of options at that price point. I was thinking ~$400 as affordable park setup, then you have to do some digging and/or make compromises.
