    Finishin my quiver

    Aight, so i just moved to colorado an right now i have a two ski quiver. 179 Silencers for the park and 189 AK Enemys for the pow and lookin to add a third an final ski. Im lookin for a ski that i can take in tree line during the morn but still take a few laps in the park at the end of the day. Right now iv narrowed it down to the ARV at 185, the Bridge at 185, or the MSP at 181. Im 6'2, 165, and im gonna be skiing at Breck, Keystone, Winterpark, that type of resort, any suggestions on which ski would best finish my quiver? thanks

    last years 185 Scratch BC WRS. you can get them for pretty cheap and there are still a few pairs lying around.

    Go fat. Fatter then 100 mm underfoot would be ideal. Those all seem to skinny for a new ski for a new skier out here.

    if you want a fatter ski for the trees but that you can also use in the park, etc. you should look at eric pollards models. the lizzies or sfbs are supposed to be pretty sweet. ep pros are probably a bit too big for what u wanna do with them.

    Agreed! All of Eric's stuff seems super versatile. Wide enough for the trees but obviously performs in the park too!!

    You have an 80 and a 108, either go big 115+ or in between 90ish. From your description 90ish, ARV is a decent choice but you said the lines might be soft so..... Consider the scratch BC WRS as mentioned above, or if your stuck on your list I'd vote for the Bridge. If your stuck on K2, consider an older Seth?
