I know freestyle skiing is already super expensive, has a lot of gear, and like I said, extremely expensive. But what are some gaps in terms of types of skis (e.g. combination of rocker and camber, swallow tail, flex patterns, etc), helmets/goggles, or even poles and other smaller things of that sort.

Fair point, luckily I'm a bit shorter than the 181 so they work for me

i liked it a lot at first but as i’ve seen them more around the mountain it fell off. i think because of how easy it is to tell what the ski is, i always notice them so it feels like they are everywhere which takes some excitement and uniqueness out of it.
