I've been looking for a twin tip to start trying out the park. I've been looking around on Tramdock / S&C / BC outlet for awhile and found some skis I think would fit the bill but want advice on which you think would be best.

I'm an intermediate 6'1 190lb skier, my boots are Nordica Ignitions (2006's) 90 flex. I have a set of Volkl Supersport 6*'s as my regular skis but they're very narrow waisted at 68. I want a ski more in the 84-94 range for a waist. As for a length I was thinking something around 177 would work best.

Anyways, out of the Nordica Ignitions, Fischer misfits, Fischer addicts, Dynastar Trouble makers, or Blizzard Poachers, which would you grab and why?

I grabbed a set of 07 Nothing But Troubles from Evogear.com's outlet. I bought them last fall...they were basically new "old" stock if you will. I bought them based on price. I just wanted something to take into the park to play around on. I've been really happy with the skis so far.

I have a set of '06 fischer riu's which are the pre-cursor to the addicts - park ski from the maori free ride line, the watea being the only survivor. they are a fun poppy ski, 80 wide and my daily ski of choice unless its real icy or feel like laying down some big turns. fun in the bumps and trees too - i would think the addicts would be the same. i'm 6' 210# skiing 180's, the twins definately ski shorter

Ended up grabbing a pair of Atomic Punx (182). I saw these skis when I was a new skiers and had fallen in love with them. Kind of excited to get my own pair. I also bought a set of Tyrolia peak 12 bindings the other day.
