i know there are hundreds of the threads(probly thousands) but i dont know what skis and bindings to get. my old skis were Fuji's 169(the red ones, and i know they were short) with marker bindings. i am 6'0" and will be about 220-230 by the time winter gets around. i ski in the midwest so its mostly groomers, rarely powder by me. i will be skiing alot more park since im not a fat slob anymore, but still want an all around ski. i want somthing with alot of pop that will hold an edge still.
 
um

search bar in the upper right hand corner

demo some skis and see what you like

give more info:

how much park, all mountain, and BC do you do?

weight?

Height?
 
and i figured id make my own post cause im a bit bigger than most skiers.

does line still have the delam problem? ive been away from this site for a while
 
at your height and weight get something beefier than lines.

I would look at head skis. Maybe a public enemy or karma too.
 
Liberty stealths wouldn't be too bad of an idea. Its pretty damn stiff, possibly one of the stiffest for park ski. The length is 180 and it holds edge like a mofo yet light and does well in park. Let me know if your interested, I have one for sale.
 
karma

mojo 80 or 90

public enemy

foil

scratch fs

to be honest there's loads of skis that would be fine for you. just demo a few and see what you like
 
where could i demo them? all i have by me are little "montains"(if they can even be called that) the biggest ive ever been to are in the wisconsin dells and those are stil tiny. i dont know where i could go that would actually have a demo
 
ar5's actually would be pretty food for you. troublemakers are a nono, theyre soft and park only. but those prices r really high u can find much cheaper online...check ebay and other shops
 
hum...

definatly look at the PEs silencers, as they definatly have your length covered

chronic woulndnt be bad

Volkl karmas are definatly a good bet

9thwards, butterlicious, MIP

maybe a 183 STL (awesome, awesome ski, but the CS is not the best, and the new Option produced skis arent as good as the old 5 axis ones. but if your not super tough on stuff, this IS your ski)

head mojo 80

dunno, most skis today all kick ass, its just a process of figuring out how the specs fit you, and finding something you like.
 
i think its either gonna be 07 silencers or 07 fujis(i did like my old ones)

i would do the 07 invaders but i dont think those would do ok all mountain
 
Ninthward firstblood 190s

Something long dude, you can handle it.
 
dude, you really don't want fujs if your gonna spend any time outside the park. silencer better for sure but i would even put it on the list of the best skis for what your looking for. up to you though...
