nearly a semi, expert pro who thinks they are awsome and can ski the whole mountain.... So you dont rate yourself much then?
Clearly you are so good you dont need any advice just aks your ski supplier or ski technician, because surely most pro or semi pro shredders have one?

I think your subtlety could do with a little work.
I wouldn't recommend the Spoons, however; they don't come in red.

Serriadh, I have a all in one in red and was hoping the red detaling of the spoons would really set it off what colours do they come in ?

pam w, Seriously never considered them what length would you recommend? And what colour.

Serriadh, Given height and weight I would recomend a LibTech Travis Rice Banana Hammock for each foot and a climbing harness to get him onto the chairlift. Presumably "rip up the park" means 'plow through it'

meandrew, you are actually 5'1" and 220lb.? . . . light on your your feet is possibly just a tad optimistic?

meandrew, We are renowned for our embrace of 'Lardyness', We celebrate it . . . 
We have very little time for people who celebrate their own 'Awsumness'(sic). We do have some extraordinary skiers who post here . . . not one of them needs to say a word about their skills.

Masque, Yeah your totally right I love nothing more than seeing the adventures of some genuine top skiers such as the chamonix descents from earlier this season and the south American trips on the realms of the gods traverse I think that's what it was called.

Ratae Corieltauvorum,
I like the Doc Martin idea, but Jag bonnets are a bit fat for me - can you think of anything skinnier?

I find the whole I need advice in buying threads odd from people who have been skiing for like six or seven years and still don't know what they want or haven't got the ability to use their heads and ask when they are in resort at the hire shop,what's good for one person isn't always good for another if everyone recommended a ski the thread would be huge and its not like the question hasn't been asked a thousand times and the same people say the same old poo-poo.Seriously how many"all mountain" skis are there on the market and "what skis should I use in the 3vs do these people not have a brain.
