Poster: A snowHead
|
I have been idly pondering get a pair of park orientated skis. Although a good skier my mad skillz are somewhat lacking so am thinking of getting a pair of skis to learn rails / not massive jumps with whilst still being able to get around the piste reasonably well. If they are any good in moguls that would also be a plus point. I know nothing about park skis but K2 revivals with schizophrantic binding seem to be going cheap at the moment, are they any good? I am 70kg 185cm i guess i should ski these shorter than usual?

Take a look at the Armanda Pipecleaners they are worth considering good pricing right now on this last seasons topsheet.

Hi thanks all for the suggestions, i already have a piste ski and a powder ski so this would really be a messing around ski that i don't need to worry about killing too much so cheaper better. It will still be used round the mountain but not mega steep / high speed, as long as i can get down blacks in one piece it would be enough.

If it's for learning rails get some cheapo twins you won't feel guilty about destroying and use the money you've saved to invest in decent body armour - rails and boxes hurt!

Ok i went and got a pair of revivals to play with , got to break the news to my gf now who didn't understand when i bought a 2nd pair of skis let alone a 3rd set! going by previous exploits some body armour is definitely a good idea but maybe thats a question for another time.
