Personally it's K2 or Salomon with Atomic a 3rd way back because of the weak binding durability. Go to a demo day and try the different skis on the same slopes under similar conditions. There are no bad brands , just good and better. Personally I ski on K2 now and have retired the rest of the quiver.

im 15 and a guy, but ive been skiing since i was 2, and i consider myself expert. i have to say u should get either K2 or 4FRNT. K2 is great all around and 4FRNT has the durability u want. plus both can go into the park and slay it up!

i love my salomon skis! there very durable and stable but tough enough to create a lot of pressure and power when needed for racing. as u prob guessed mine are race skis.

it really depends on what kind of skiing u will be doing and your style.

goodluck x

I ride the line celebrity.. and had the line shadow.. They are both awesome skis. You can't go wrong with line skis!

salomon or k2. its all about consistancy and they keep putting out the best stuff in my opinion. they last forever, ski well, and they have good graphics.

i like volkl they are a bit stiffer then most skis so more stable at speed

Although I am a guy, I prefer Volkl's, always have. They are nice in all conditions.

lines. nice, stable and flexy. i like rossies to though stiffer but still an awsome ride
