Skiing, looking for a good pair to jump with?

Question

what are the best ski's to get in new england, for someone just learning how to jump. i am a pretty good skier and started doing jumps this year, not very high,but getting there. what are the best,any suggestions

Answer 1

i wouldnt buy any right away until you rent a few different pairs because you really want to be sure they  r pretty expensive.

and if you really want the best ones check out what showoffs

on the slopes r wearing and wait for them to go in for a hot chocolate or beer and take theirs.(i promise i wont tell a sole!)

Answer 2

I would go w/line,  i haven't skii'd in about 15 years since i started riding, but i was up at loon last winter and everyone was raving about line skis

Answer 3

I think maybe look into twin tipped skis. they are rounded on both ends and were made for jumps so if you do a 180 you won't catch an edge with the back side of your skis. There are many brands that make good skis like that.

Answer 4

You should get a pair of twin tips.  they are a lot lighter than other skis and are turned up at both ends for skiing and landing backwards.  

Here are some companies to look at:

K2

Armada

Volkl

Salomon

Dyastar

Answer 5

without a doubt get twin tips always get twins unless you are racing. So start out by looking at how long are you gonna try jumping (jibbing) for. If you want to try it out then rent for one season and that deal, If you are gonna stick with it then by some skis. I suggest brands like

Salamon

Rossingol

Line

Armada

and Volkl

Salamon has a ski just for introduction to park and pipe
