gday all. First the facts; i'm 5'11 and about 170 lbs (77 kg). i'm not fat, just muscle 
so i ski pretty hard and generally end up killing my skis within 3 weeks of non-stop skiing.
anywho. i live in the most desolate place on earth, the furthest major city from any other majopr city, and from snow, in the world. this is called Perth on the coast of west australia. but every year we travel to the u.s. as my parents are from ther so we got to visit family. this year i am lucky enough to be in aspen for 32 days in the high season. i need some advice on what skis to get this year. i will probably spend about 10% in the park, 30% on groomers and stuff, then the rest on the doube blacks such as the higlands bowls and the stuff wayy off to the edge of ajax. however about 80% of that time will still be spent jumping, just not in the park. last year i skied on foils which werefine for everything that the 4 mountains copuld throw at me, except when there was decent powder. so i switched to guns, which were again awsome for evrything except for moguls, which is about 50% of the good terrain at aspen.
so, basically i need a ski that can float nicely on powder days, not too fat for moguls, can get some decent speeds with out shuttering and can take a good beating for 32 days of solid skiing.
i was thinking about firstbloodsm or preferentially, faction wednesdays. (money is not an issue at the moment.)
also any suggestions on bindings?
cheers, bassie.
