Ski advice?

[hackett007]

I've posted numerous times about ski advice but I don't get a finaly answer. But anyway I thought I'll give it ago again. I am 185cm tall, 75kg heavy and advanced skier which is semi aggresive and about 10% park, 40% off trial and 40% groomed so I'm guessing all mountain ski, but I wouldn't mind twin tips for when I pull out the tricks , I ski in australia every year and ski os every 2 or 3 years, but at the end of the year I will be in Jackson Hole for the season. At the moment I'm thinking K2 pe, Rossi scratch or sprayer, volkl (don't know any specific) same with head. I have heard great reviews from the PE but I wanna see what you guys think. Price wise, nothing really over 1000, but if it's need I will, but I quite like the price tag of the PE, but the saying is you get what you pay for. Thanks for any advice.

Actually you've posted twice about this topic. Once in July 2006 and then once again in June 2007 but each time you ask about different types of skis.

I don't ski so I've got no idea but from what I see there you've mentioned at least two twin tips both of which from what I know are very good skis.

But if you're looking for an all mountain ski I'd personally buy an all mountain ski.

You should have bought my AR5's

07 Volkl Karmas would have been great for what you want - PE would too but it's on the heavier side.

Check the Head Mojo 80, Elan MO2, 4frnt MSP or TNK something on the stiffer side

If you ride switch, then you will need a twin tip. To Silence's list Add Volkl Bridge and Stockli Snake Coral.

If you don't need a twin tip maybe Volkl AC3/AC30, Stockli Stormrider XL.

Does your $1000 including bindings?

[Taxman]

$1,000 limit? Cross my suggestions off the list (unless you can get previous year's skis or second hand).

Just noticed, you've put on 5kg since last June. BTW, the AC3 is still available and within your budget (need to make room for a race ski and light weight AT ski). Ask Yeti about his AC30, he loves it. The AC3 is more or less the same ski.

[hackett007]

yes frog if possible, and ahhaha about tax with th5 5kg

Just get the Public Enemy, a great all round ski that will do all that you are saying you want it for, or you could wait a few more months and get the new K2 Extreme, same ski different name and graphics, either would come in under $1000 with bindings.

I'm sure the extreme will take off
