Hi,

I have been snowboarding for quite some time (6-7 years or so) but
have begun to look around for something new. Last winter I borrowed a
friends skis for a weekend and had a blast. So as it turns out I
would now like to purchase skis for the upcoming winter season. I
would say I'm looking for a ski that can really carve in a back and
forth motion on the cordory (coming from a snowboard background here)
but still be able to be used as an all mountain ski (a bit of powder,
tree/glade, chutes, etc). I don't think I will find myself doing much
with mogels however (I would like to save my legs for as long as
possible).

My friend is a K2 enthusiast and reccommended the 04' K2 public
enemys. They look like they have a pretty good sidecut but I really
don't know for I have very little experience with skiing equipment.

If it helps, I am about 160lbs and am at about an intermediate level
(currently skiing in the midwest, although will be moving to colorado
next fall).

Thanks for any input,

Ryan Krug
