So basically, I want park skis because I like skiing park way better than everything else. Before I throw out some of the products that I already have in my mind, I would like to give you some background.

This was my first year skiing. I can do 180s, 360s, some grabs, and the occasional rail. The problem is, I'm doing this all with racing skis that have chipped ends, so I need some advice on what ski to buy.

I'm on a fairly tight budget, so I would prefer it to be under $300 (skis only)

Here is what I have been looking at:

Volkl Alley 158: Click

K2 Press 159: Click

Atomic Infamous 171: Click

Salomon Threat 171: Click

My preferred ski size would be anywhere around 160-170 and my racing skis are 159s I think. So, which of these would your recommend?

 
Height: 5' 7"Weight: 140

I'm not sure about stiff or soft

I'm not sure about rocker either

More jumps than rails, but I still do both.
 
the durability is awful, i rode mine 3 days and both tips delamed, the press are good, go with them, they're great skis and waaay more durable
 
I have the Armada El Reys, which in my opinion is a very good beginning park ski, it's not very expensive, pretty durable and you can have a lot of fun with it. Hope it helped
 
Basically what I'm looking for is the most durable one. Also. I heard bad reviews on majesty skis, so no thanks. What about the K2 sights?
 
If he gets k2 he might as well go domains or recoil (shreditor 92 for 14/15). They're k2's flagship park skis and are only 50 dollars more in a summer sale.
 
durable, but pretty stiff. Solid beginner-intermediate park ski. Check my threads. Im selling a 169 pair of sights with griffons for 200
 
no man majestys are really durable, you can find bad reviews about any ski. they are a solid ski and their not a beginner park ski but thats good because beginner park skis suck dick after like 2 months. if you don't think their durable check out Brad Bulzan or sober brad (same person) he gets 2-3 pairs of skis a year and those include all mountan skis, he rides urban all the time on comics and there solid as fuck... edges are very hard to crack, and iv never seen a pair of majestys delam.
 
UPDATE: I'm now leaning more towards volkl, but here are the links to what I'm inbetween now. I don't want a really stiff park ski. but I'll settle with anything from a little stiff to soft (not too soft). Also, durability is my biggest concern.
