so i got some scratch bc's for my birthday, which was about two weeks ago. on my third day on them, i blew a hole in my sidewall by turning in a foot of fresh and uncovering a very sharp rock. rossignol and the shop i bought the skis from wont do anything for me. the skis are still ok, but i can see about two inches of core and the edge is unprotected/prone to coming out. my dad wants to take them because he likes how they ski, so i was all set to buy a new pair of skis. today, on the way home from skiing, my beat-up AR6's fell out the back of my dad's pickup truck on the highway and we never found them. so i am down two pairs of skis in a week. any suggestions for a ski to replace both pairs? i ski in vermont and ski pretty much everything, from park and urban to bumps, trees, and powder, and i am 5'6'' and 120 lbs.
 
Man, thats rough. I take it your looking to buy a one ski quiver?

I guess you would want something in the area of an 89-95 waist? Have you looked at anthems? They seem to be a pretty solid ski in the park that you can take around with you to the deeper snow. Plus, they arent a whole lot of cash for this years ski.

Maybe look into some of last seasons ARV's or firstbloods, you can get those for around 300-350$.
 
I don't know this, but my reasoning is that its a mini rocker, not a straight up rocker, so i doubt it would affect much at all. I've heard that they are an incredible allmtn ski...get them if you have a deal
 
Apparently the Anthems aren't great in powder/deep snow, but that's just coming from one guy I know.

169 K2 Seth (98mm)

169 Nordica Supercharger Enforcer (98mm)

170 Moment Tahoe (96mm)

171 Rossignol Scratch Brigade (98mm)

174 Salomon Gun (96mm)

175 Armada ARV (92mm)

 
very true, I'm sorry if I didn't read that before...and wow dave, thats impressive, lengths and all
 
Softer -> stiffer (BCs would fit in between MSP and Seths I think). Take your pick...

Bridge (98), Mojo 90 (89), Big Trouble (92), MSP (~92), Seth (98), ARV (~92).
 
Scott Punishers too (89mm). Don't go too fat unless you want to compromise in the park.
 
i bought some epoxy, but from past experience/conversations with other people, the epoxy doesn't substitute a good sidewall and won't hold the edge in
