Alright sorry to bother everyone with another one of these threads, but i need urs guys expert advice. Im about 174 cm 145 pounds, i live in qc so i pretty much ride park/groomed and a bit of pow once in a while. Im no expert but i can 540 and do most rails easily, but im lookin for a good twin that will help me progress and last the season

so far ive considered these :

176 mojo

176 ar5

176 skogens

176 1260s

175 tm/belans

179 pes

179 fujatives

174 scratch fs

170/180 msp

any advice appreciated, thx again

 
those are all real good skis man you won't go wrong with any of them. Personally though, my opinion I would go with the 175 tm/or belans. I am riding TM's and they are real nice and light, and I was on candides before these big difference. 145 is pretty light in weight, 180 may be a little to big to wip around or if ur lookin for that extra 180 in your spin somethin 170-175 may give you an edge. Just my opinion though

definately all badass skis, its basically just a weight/flex preference and how much you wanna spend

Have you ridden your STL's yet? I know you just got them from reading in some threads. I'd look into them if money wasn't an issue.

hey thx for all the great replies guys...ive narrowed it down a bit

pes

stls

ar5s

skogens

i got a few questions tho:

1. for the pes, would it be better to go with the 169 or 179 and centermount them ?

2.how much do u think a pair of stls is gonna cost me...say some 04s or even used 04s ? my main concern isnt really price, but if im gonna dish out the extra 150 i want them to last...so hows the durability on the stls

3.has anyone ridden the 04's skogens, how are they and is there any difference between those and the new ones

 
the durability is fine, and with a 2 year warrantee, you cant go wrong

basically anything, cracked edges, de-laming, breaking, im not sure about rail damage though, but i raid that 4frnts are pretty much indestructable on rails

do u recommend the 177 or 167 ? where should i mount them ? is there any difference between last years and this years ? lol sry for all the questions but thx again

 
there is no last years, this is the first year, depending on how tall you are, i say anywhere from like 5'8-6'0' go for 177, which is what i have, anything under that go for 167

for a good warranty and bomber ski check out liberty choppers

********************

witty cent is now live on stage!
 
^which is also a nice ski, although i wouldnt buy a ski from a company that just came out, since 4frnt has been aroud for 2 years now, you have heard some good reviews about them

well thx for all the great help guys...ive pretty much have to choose between stls, pes or stealth's, with a 3 year warranty and 35% discount on defects u really cant go wrong with liberty...

 
liberty has a 3 yr warrenty? crazay companies should get into warrenty wars like we will cover this this and this and another company will be like o ya we will cover that that and that plus this this and this and ad a yr to the warrenty. that would be cool for us skiers but not likely to happen

dont get it twisted
