Help with buying skis.

[Teddan]

Hi NS. I'm kind of new when it comes to buying skis, I've rented all my life.

I want a ski that is durable and about 40% Park 60% All-Mountain.

I'm 15 y old, 181 cm (5foot.11inch) tall and weigh about 55kg (121lbs).

Oh, yeah btw, what binding position should i use?

Thanks in advance.

Binding mount depends on what ski you get, where yo will take the ski outside of the park, and how much you do it. Some good one ski quivers for you are:

Line Blend

ON3P Kartel 98

Salomon Rocker2 100

Icelantic Nomad (105 underfoot, might be a little wide)

Moment PB&J

K2 Shreditor 102

Id also figure out what flex of what you are looking for in a ski. ON the list I put some fairly soft, stiff, and medium stiff skis.

Thanks. I saw these skis called revolt from volkl for a cheap price in a nearby store. They had like 95 under foot. Are those good?

some more info for us would be good for suggesting a ski to suit you best. like if you want a cambered ski to carve better on hardpack and groomers. Or do you want a softer ski that will be more playful with butters and hitting the park. It would be a good idea to read up on some things that different skis may have like camber/rocker, stiff vs soft, how wide, also consider what conditions you regularly ski in.

Those are Ahmet Dadali's pro model. I believe they are more of a park oriented ski, but with that width in mind they would most likely handle just fine.
