This spring I think I'm due for new skis... I'll wait for the season to end, to get the best deals. My skis are 7 years old, and they're kind of a beginner level. 
I'm looking for some recommendations for new skis. I need something for advanced level. Nothing crazy, like freestyle, off-slope or deep powder, but stable and good enough for any double diamond. I prefer a good brand, like Rossignol, Salomon, Atomic, etc.. 
Can anybody enlighten me? Really don't know much about skis, I bought mines when I started to ski and the only criterium was the $100 sale price.

I'm heading out to Heavenly in a couple of weeks for three days of skiing. Like you, i'm looking to potentially buy some skis at the end of the season. I'm becoming a pretty good advanced skier. I can get down single blacks and some double blacks and can hack my way through the deep powder. I want a good "do it all" ski that is somewhat forgiving and suitable for an advanced level skier. Here's what's on my radar: 
1. Volkl Unlimited AC30 Titanium 
2. Salomon X-Wing 10 
3. Scott P3 
4. Fischer Watea 78 
5. Atomic Nomad Whiteout 
Of course all of those may not be available, but I'm sure I'm going to get to try the Volkl and the Salomon. 
Good luck shopping, and some of last years skis are still out there, so good deals can be found.
