Right, I've given my fair few pieces of advice in this forum before. And was just simply asking someone to return the favour.
I'm 5ft.9, 17, 150lb. Live in England (so ski has to be dry slope suitable) but also travel round.I work as an instructor in the UK as a guide abroad (sadly more for the piste not the backcountry), and don't generally get much time to hit the park etc.I currently have some 176 Line chronic's, but they're looking slightly worse for wear, and I was told/hinted by my employer, that I couldn't ski on them because the state they're in gave a bad reflection on the company. So he's given me the sale price for them £150/$300 towards new skis?
So i need a new ski, thin, light, versatile, not so much powder more piste that's durable enough to battle England's dryslopes?
Any help?
 
Out of those skis I've owned Silencers, Walls, and Phil Laroses. The silencers start out pretty stiff, and then break in hard and become very soft, but they're kinda heavy, makes for a very good first park ski. Walls are symmetrical which is sick, they don't break in that much and are pretty stiff. The Phil Laroses are for sure the best on the list (including the EXT and Ledge), soft but not too soft, light and poppy, and very durable. Phil Laroses/LTEs are probably one of the best skis on the market right now for park.
 
Liberty's it is then, I can get them for £250 new, with salomon Sth14's. Which in my opinion, is a pretty good deal! Thanks for all the help.
