since i work in a shop that carries a ton of brands, i like a bunch of companies. i like nordica and volkl just overall, k2 and salomon for their freestyle lines, but FUCK head. and before someone calls me out for being a noob, head makes the highest quality blahblah bs, their race skis are fine if stiffer than most people need, but the peak series are absolute noodles, and they've only given one shit (jo) about freestyle for too long.
