What's up ns, I've been skiing for some time now and up until this season i've been rocking the rentals at whatever mountain I go to but this year my buddy let me use his old head skis that are twin tips. I've been working on my park skills as I'm pretty comfortable everywhere else on the mountain and park is something I want to be able to put more time into. I'm 19 (not that that matters) weigh about 140 and am roughly 6'. I guess you could say I ski fairly aggressive. I don't want skis that are specifically for park because I'm not nearly wealthy enough to afford multiple pairs of skis lmao so I'm looking for something all-mountain. I rep the east coast so when I say I want skis for all mountain, I basically mean the shit blacks and double blacks at like Pat's peak or loon or whatever, nothing crazy or west coast by any means. So yah, hmu with any suggestions and thanks in advance
Classic Q, what skis to buy for a future park rat?

Good suggestions and all good core brands worth supporting. 100 underfoot is becoming pretty average for all mountain skis but it might be a little wide for someone getting started in the park. If you are really serious about park I would look for something closer to 90ish underfoot just at least until you get a little more comfortable on rails and jumps.

ive skied armada my whole life and have loved them, and would recomend them. i ride the thall which is 85 underfoot, so a skinnier park ski for sure but they are durable and still flex nice

This, I rode AR7s for the last 3 or 4 years while I was on the east coast and loved them. Yes, I was a kid and had 161s but loved them all the same. They might be 82 underfoot? I forgot but they are a nice, durable ski meant for the east coast all mountain and park everywhere. They served me well at Whiteface Mtn and would probably do the same to you anywhere else

yeah those are gonna be dope
honestly, I've used the on3p filthy riches/presters and jskis whipits/allplays and my favorite ski for everything on the east coast is by far the presters. if you want something a lil better for pow maybe check out the kartel or next years magnum, (lets be real, I haven't seen a lick of pow this year), but the presters carve awesome and are actually super fun

Never had any experience with them personally, but I heard the Tigersnake durability is shit.
