I've been skiing for about ten years now, on and off. However, every time I rent skis, I get ones with huge tips, and they feel a bit unwieldly in moguls, tights turns, etc.

Please recommend me a set of skis that have speed potential, turning versatility, and agility.

Also, keep in mind that I'm fairly lightweight (5'10.5'', 165 lbs)

Ski Canada did a recent Buyers Guide for 2010. These six skis seemed to fit my criteria (speed, turning versatility, agility):

K2 Apache Force
K2 Apache Recon
K2 Apache Sidewinder
K2 Silencer
Head Monster IM 76
Volkl Unlimited AC 3

Please rate these, and also recommend any others that come to mind.
