I'm an aggressive beginner looking for my first set of skis. I live in New England so they will be used for White Mountains CCC trails, touring, and Mt Washington. I'm considering BD Prime boots and Dynafit ST bindings. Skis I'm looking at now are Manaslus, BD Aspect, K2 Wayback and Backlash. The only skis I've demoed were 176cm BD Stigmas which I hated/couldn't handle. I'm 5'10" and 175 lbs. I want something easy and fun to ski in most NE conditions. Model and size suggestions would be great.

Hey there! Sounds like the Manaslus would be just right for you! Got a pair of 187 this season to ski out West (Golden, BC area) and just love them! I'm about 165 lbs, maybe 185 lbs with pack and gear. If you're around 200 lbs without gear, you might find them a little soft... Not that good for charging big lines but awesome turning abilities for more technical ones! My other bc setup is a 192 BD Zealots before they had the early rise...
