I didn't say that, I said that they were only ESSENTIAL for park skiers.
Mrs H skis on twinnies and they're brilliant on piste, as long as you don't ski right behind her as they kick up some serious snow.

Does lots of just off the piste skiing/moguls, not much of park goer (torn acl a few years back and jumps tend to put pressure on that). Early 20's just a little unsure of what to get and whether or not to try before we buy!

Try and test if at all possible. As she has quite a bit of experience I'll throw in a couple more for consideration. Both these skis perform, the Whitedot's slightly more forgiving IMHO.

Movement Black Rose, which are a super smooth ride, can be enjoyed by Intermediates and up, but do have a big turn radius..I know, I own some and love them )

Whitedot, The One, which will give the same float, stiff enough to ride well on piste, but turn tighter than the Rose's. With the Whitedot's she will probably go longer on length, as they have a shorter effective ski length.

Hi mate,

In a similar situation myself, going on a instructor course in Jan (Can not wait !) and iv been looking into some all-mountain skis and after abit of homework iv decided to get the Salomon twenty twelves, they came out as the best all mountain ski according to Freeskier magazine - American ski mag. Iv found a site which is doing an amazing deal on them at the moment with bindings !

Hope that helps.
