Hello good people of ns. I am Alex and i am looking for a pair of skis that I can truly love. In keeping with the sticky post on this subject, here is some info bout me:

Location: the east coast of le USA. Primarily in maine.

Height: 5'7''

Age:15

Weight: around 120-125 pounds

Ability level: advanced. I ski pretty much anything you can dish out.

Budget: infinite monies

Kind of ski I want: twintips that perform well all mountain skiing and in the park. they should have decent flex, fairly low swing weight, versatility, and a lovable personality. I mostly ski glades, moguls, and ungroomed trails so they should also be able to handle those areas without any problems. Thank you in advance, good sirs/womenfolk, for your help.
 
you are looking for a normal cambered park ski with decent sidecut and a stiffer flex. assuming maine is anything like NJ; lots of ice, fake snow, mush when it's spring, and super heavy wet snow in the winter, you could check out skis like the K2 recoil, the thinner version of the chronics, walls if you want symmetrical, AR7. you could even get a soft one too, i have disorderlys and they're noodles but i do fine on ice after skiing it for 10 years. basically any narrow waisted park ski. you could even look for a bit of rocker.

personally, i wouldn't get a wider ski cause i know that when it's those solid ice days it'll be horrible.
 
yeah, where i ski is a great deal closer to canada than it is to jersey. the conditions are usually pretty good and theres not nearly as much ice and such. but im still not looking for a super soft pow ski by any stretch of the imagination.
 
oh well in that case, you might look at things like the kung fujas or skis like that. chronic cryptonite, things of that nature.
 
yeah i would defintley look into this years or last years chronics. they are perfect for what you need. wide enoguh to get through crud but thin enough to rip the park.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions. They are greatly appreciated. I read a little more about the chromite and they sound pretty good but does anyone know what kind of swing weight they have?
 
Back in the day when I was your age and size I saved up and got an original pair of Jp vs Juliens... Such a perfect, lovable ski. Exactly what you want. Its sad that they don't make them anymore and are impossible to find new. They make all the new mid-fats a slight disappointment.
