What type of ski do you recommend? It's summer, best time to get cheap deals and get ready for winter!?
I was in the same boat coming into this past ski season (though I'm taller and heavier). I tried both and personally preferred the Public Enemy. I feel as though I made the right decision, they are stiffer than the Salomon which are geared a little more toward the park, and I was looking more in the direction you are. The ski's are amazing, they can handle anything you throw at them (the twin-tip is nice to have incase you ever want to try the park or ski backwards without fear of catching your tail). I ski in the Northeast and they handle great from the ice to the 4 feet of powder I was lucky enough to hit up at Jay Peak. Bumps, glades, steeps, they handle everything extremely well thanks to their square sidewalls (more typically found on a race or high-end all mountain). I have also found them very durable as I've skied them at least 80 times with only minor nicks on the edges from the bumps and trying my hand at the park a little. I have heard nothing, but great things from other owners of the Public Enemy as well, though one park kid said they were a little heavy. So, if you're only going to own one pair of ski's, the Public Enemy is the one to get.
