Got anything good bad or whatever about this ski? I don't know much about skis yet... I ski in Oregon mostly park but a little all over.
 
A good all round park ski, can handle being out of the park ok too - Based only on the very limited experience i've had with them, they get pretty soft after a while.
 
Its a really fun ski. Yes its foam core but it doesn't give out taht fast unless your huge. Great ski though.
 
I would have this to say about new salomon 1080's...since they started this foam core spaceframe deal..they are extremely light, they carve great, they feel great, but in MY opinion their durability sucks..I had a pair of the white vincent dorion 1080's..the tips delammed after about 9 days of normal park and all mountain, yes I used them for jumps..but they're made for this..so I got a new pair under warranty, 171 spaceframe models..this pair also delammed after about 10-15 days..again, nothing ridiculous..they just popped apart..so after pulling teeth with salomon forever, I got a pair of 181 spaceframes..this pair lasted maybe 8 days, before a huge section of edge underfoot (like a foot) ripped out after I did a very well covered glade run..now sure, maybe I hit a branch but what the hell..my scratchs have never done that and i beat the shit out of them, and the same with my new to me karmas, they seem quite durable..oh, and 2 other of my friends have had the edge problem with those spaceframe 1080's too..so I guess I'm just saying, unless your parents are paying for your skis..you might want to look at something thats a little more durable, and definitely watch second hand 1080's since you wont have a warranty then..
 
im same height and weight as u and i have them in a 174 and i like them alot. they are a really good park ski and a good powder as well. i ski in oregon too. i like them alot. i would definitley like to get something with a little more pop, but they are a great ski
 
They got thrown out of the line along with the thruster, spk, and the other skis except the guns+dumonts. I think?
 
im 5'7" 130 and i ride 166 foils. the same year as the ones your looking at. i love em, pretty buttery and not bad in the park. the like others said if your looking for a park specific ski go with the suspect or dumont. but if you're down with an all mountain/park ski this is for you. they're great on groomers, but if your going through crusty shit at high speeds they won't power through like a stiffer ski, they'll be a little flimsy. I've ridden mine for 8 days and they're holding up great. i have a friend who has had his 05/06 foils (the same ski besides graphics) for three seasons and they're still good as new. so in my experience they are pretty durable skis. these skis are really great and a lot of fun to ski on. i'd say go for it and grab those things.
