Alright so i am in the market for new park skis.

INFO:

6 foot 165

live in the midwest so 65% rails 35% Jumps

Would like to spend less than 400

Need to be super durable

Preferably from backcountry but skis.com (my local shop) or evo gear would also work

Skis i have been looking at

Stepups which are on sale at backcountry for 340

Reno Jibs which are on sale at evo for 377

or any other recommendations

Durability is key

+K for god responses!
 
if its strictly durability go with any mentioned skis + s4

but the s4 may be too stiff for you or something. give a few more details

 
The thing is my last skis were s4's i wasnt a fan..... I like really poppy skis with a medium flex..

And k2 silencers or faction keneddys are some other options i have
 
Maybe Faction, but I cant say I've stumbled across many reviews of that ski. I think those or Reno Jibs, depends on condition and price.
 
both would be new.. the only problem is the longest length i can get teh factions in is 173, and the moments would be 181

 
reno jibs no question get em now. Ive never met someone who has been disappointed with moment,

and apparently if your not skiing moment, your not skiing
 
i would go with the moments the time i rode the reno jibs they were real fun to ride real smooth on rails i thought. i feel like that would be a good ski. the stepups are fun but i didnt really like the way they rode for some reason the flex on them was wierd i thought but everyone has there own skis they like.
 
Chronic Crypts maybe? medium flex, somewhat poppy, evo has them for 398 (this years model) or 389(last years model).
 
lol abangs durable? you have to be kidding and i have seen 3+ pairs of step ups with the base separate from them skate deck, and none of the kids have skied them 'hard'.
 
Well,

I have destroyed 2 pairs of ar7s, gotten a ton of edge cracks, rockerd them, decambered them and snapped them both in 40 days each. Arent they supposed to be durable?

No ski is super durable, some are more than others. And afterbangs and stepups are both quite durable skis. As i said not the best but quite durable.

 
I dont have stepups. Not my style of ski. I did find abangs very fun tho, but they are not the ski for me.

But i do have quite a few friends with step ups and abangs and they are very happy with them.
