I live near Aspen and I can ski hang with almost anyone. Problem, I have 2 kids and a stay at home mom, Not really a problem other than $$$. I've been skiing on an old pair of rossignol B4's with AT bindings,. They're great (other than bumps) but I dont want to mess up or break the AT setup. Would this ski be a good all around glade, steeps, bumps, light park ski? Im 6'2'' and 175? what lenghth. B4's are 178 Thanks

I think you ought to look elsewhere. I have this ski in its previous incarnation. I'm 6'3" 180lbs and I was riding the 176cm. I probably should have been on some longer sticks but I noticed some wicked speed wobble. These are meant more for park skiing than anything. I'd probably lean toward something like the Volkl Bridge or the Scott Punisher. The Punishers are pretty cheap right now. I actually replaced the S3's with the Punishers for $200 in the 191 length. If you can rock a 191 ski its a good deal. They ski short so it will feel more like a 185 due to the Pro-Tip. BTW, this deal is in the Outlet. It's last year's model so its cheaper. Same ski different top sheet. Go to Freeskier.com and look at their buyers guide. It came in 2nd place this year.
