I'm looking to buy a new pair of skis at great price.  I'm looking for an all mountain/freestyle ski that can handle just about anything.  Would like to get a pair at a good discount.  Any recommendations?  6', 200 lbs, intermediate level.  Thanks.

Look at Salomon Foils.  They are supposed to be super sick, and they come in a 182 length, which would probably be good for you.  Also, K2 public enemy probably in 179.

I heard the Foils were a little flimsy, light as hell, but flimsy.  I'm going to be using these for about 80% carving and hitting jumps on the slopes and 20% park, park being pipe and kickers.  Maybe a few boxes and rails in the future but I like to jump and carve.  I'm a beginner but want a ski I can use for the next 3 or so years, so I'm thinking of an advanced ski.  I've also heard really good things about the Karma's adn that they are stiffer and more oriented towards all mountain.  Any info. on the Karmas or anything else?  THanks.

I'm looking at the Karmas, 177, and I can go with either look PX 12 or marker 11.0 Ti bindings.  Will these both be good for a size 305 boot?  which would be a better binding?
