Help for friend!

Hey, I've been trying to find a good pair of park-focused (that can handle some all-mtn) skis for my friend that are cheap, around $300. I had seen AR5s but they all were sold when I called the store. He's 5'10" and 155 lbs. So now I'm thinking Fischer Habits since they're sandwich construction (better durability?) and based off the Addicts. What do you guys think?

 

[titsLOL]

he should get silencers. 300 brand spankin new.

yea, I thought of them too, but I keep hearing bad things about them; especially their performance out of the park. they're cap construction vs the sandwich construction of the habits as well.

 

[el_mono]

well, has anyone heard anything *bad* about the habits? I think they're a really good deal, $300 for a symmetric twin with sandwich construction. Want to make sure they're good before he spends his money.

i just got the silencers and i love them. i just got into freeskiing and they are a great ski in my opinion.
