ive had some K2 public enemies for 2 seasons now and love them. although to be honest im not really a big trick guy and rarely do i ever ride backwards unless im with my lil bro just toolin around the mountain. I mainly just use them as an all mountain ski.

I rock some 2005 Line Skogen Sprang Pro Models with some Salomon S14ti's in the Park. Some 2005 Nordica Beasts with some Diamir Freerides for the the big mountains.

For the Big mountains i rock the Scarpa Tornado Boot, for the park i rock some Nordica W8's or Some Beasts 14's.

I want to get some 2008 Line Sir Francis Bacons or Elizabeth's or if they weren't so ugly some Rossignol Steaz. But currently very low on funds.

I have some Good Carbon Poles they are sweet cannot be bent. I shattered one landing a 3 on top of it. So for park i now rock some Garage sale poles. For touring some Adjustable ones and for hills the goode carbon.

The new K2's are finally not 9 million pounds, but still hard to get and expensive.

By the way anyone see any of the recent movies that have released? I saw Seven sunny days and it blew my mind. I have hear mixed Results about T-hall's "Believe" some say it was insane some say it was lame, so i don't know what to think until i see it.

Well as you know the rockies have some of the best powder in the world. My Nordicas are 92 at the waist and my next skis are going to be 100+ at the waist. Have you ever skied park with fat skis? the most epic thing ever. You can land switch back seat on one ski and still come out alive. So stable, when i get back on my skogens its soo different and same going to my rock skis some salomon 1080's from like '04 like a 80 waist.

That was my suspicion about the bacons, is that they would be like butter. I am liking the Steaz because they are stiff but fat! so you could actually ski them out of powder.

Have you ever tried skiing on the the prophets 130's? crazy!

thisk is my first par of fat skis. i was on 155 troublemakers.. 76 in the waist. i thiknk they made skiing a whole lot harder than it need to be. especially in any kind of non- groomed run

yeah you are going to love the seth's. One of my favorite skis that I have skied on to date. My only complaint what they were a bit heavy, but hey unless you are touring then thats not really a problem.

155 by 76 is an amazingly small ski. How was that in the powder? haha.

Yeah, I just got some 07s this summer w/ look px 12 jib bindings (and my old mount snow rental boots). What do you think about the PEs? I sound like I'll be doing similar stuff like you. How noticable is the weight?

Can't wait to try them out, theyre my first pair of good skis.
