Line Blend

Line Lizzie

K2 Obsethed

(and i have no idea what else/ what to look for)

THANKS +K for help
 
Where on the EC do you live? CT, like me? Or up north?

I wouldn't look for a ski that's too powder oriented unless you'll be pretty much sticking to Jay Peak and Stowe and resorts up north. Its not worth it to have them for anything less.

Propett 90s are a fabulous all mountain ski, especially because they're pretty stiff to hold up nicely on EC hardpack. This year's 90's are supposedly great too. If you're dead set on getting new skis and liked the way the 90's skied, you might want to try the Prophet 100s. They're fatter and consequently stiffer.

If you want something wider, I would keep to the realm of wider all mountain skis. Something like, yes, the Blend, or maybe the Volkl Bridge (94 underfoot) would work out well. Armada makes a few skis around that width, too.

Any more specifics you can give? Rocker? Flex you like? Stuff like that will help narrow down teh search.
 
well it sounds like the lizzie would be a pretty good match for you b/c it's park specific but it will handle powder if nesicarry. Chronic Cryponites might be a good choice too
 
check moment bro! tons of sick skis over 100mm waist. they are bombproof!

on3ps are pretty dope too but i've never tried a pair
 
ive up in mass like north of worcester. I am getting my liscense this year so up north like nh vt and maine will be my home. I am looking for something with more play then the prophet because i am used to the invaders. No i am not saying that i want an "all mountain" ski that is as flexy as the invader. but i want a little wider than the bridge.
 
dude i would definitely be checking out Moment's skis. The Bibby is 115 at the waist in 186cm and is super playful all over the mountain. Or the Night Train is dope as well. Very similar to the Hell-bent. Comes in a 170 and 180cm incase you want to go shorter
 
I would seriously recomend the elizabeth then. they are park specific, symetric flex and very soft not like other 2x4's. That said you'll have tons of fun in the park with them and they are wide enough to float some powder on the good days.
