Hey Everyone, I skied for 8 years(since the age of two), then I switched to snowboarding and did that for 7years, but now i want to go back to my roots. I will be riding in the park with occasional powder. I am 6'2, weigh 160. So what skis would be good for me to start riding park?

I was thinking Scratch FS WRS 07 at the end of this season ( I am on a budget) or maybe Line Chronics?

Please help!

Boots-what ever fits. The foils fit me excellent, so thats the boot for me. Just try many pairs on.

Bindings- Look and rossi are my favourites. The P, Px, Axial, and FKS are most likely the safest and solid bindings out.(IMO)
 
your not that heavy, but your tall. I would say go around 176-182 range. If you will be skiing alot of park, you will want to mount closer to the centre of the ski. the closer to the centre, the longer you can go. Im 5'6 ish, and ride 176 t-halls, munted true centre. The softer the ski, the longer you can go (in general). I would reccomend some Ar5, thrusters, foils, or some scratch sprayer bc's.
 
how much are these skis? Because I really just want a twin tip pair of skis that will go trough hell and High water because it will be my first year riding park and doing tricks so I don't want to spend 700 dollars on skis that will be wrecked after 2 years.
 
I got my t-halls for 490$ including look Px12 bindings. NPM is selling Ar5, in a 176 for 329$, or 171 thrusters for 249
 
ya the fit is the most important, not the brand. scratch would be awesome, but the bc is good for pow and park. ARV is great too
 
Correct me if I am wrong but from What I see, The sprayer FS is the least expensive, then it's the Sprayer BC, Followed by the FS WRS wich are top quality skis?

How much do the Sprayer FS and BC go for (CAD if possible)?
