Line Twelve Sixty Alpine Ski
The Line Twelve Sixty will help you progress from your first rail beating to sliding kinks with ease. This lightweight ski makes it easy to get of the ground. New for the '04-'05 season, Line has removed the Carbon Ollieband. Why? To bring you a more affordable park specific ski. Fear not, the Twelve Sixty, remains a great intro park ski. Built from lightweight, super strong aspen, this freestyler will have you effortlessly spinning onto rails and stomping the most technical fakie tricks in the park like it ain't no thang. And of course, the Twelve Sixty showcases the best of Line's well-respected hallmarks: Real Twin Tip, 4D Fibercap construction for supreme edging power, and progressive stance.

Light and fast on bumps - not too jibby on cruise
Quite pleased with these - so much so I came back and ordered a second pair for later. I don't do parks but do 100% freestyle bumps and I could move so, so fast in these - took them to some of my favorite bump runs (7th heaven at Whistler) so I can a good "compare" and could really hold and incredibly fast, hard line. Now you can't do 100% bumps at any resort as there are "transportation" runs and these were great on the cruise runs too to get from hill to hill.
1260s
I loved the 1260s after I got used to their light glide. It took about 1 day. They have great pop to them and it’s easy to do big air. Ok in the half pipe and are great on rails. They’re actually are pretty good on moguls too. The only bad part is that they scratch a little to noticeably and easily than I would like.

Training Tips
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
