Hello,

I am looking for a new pair of skis for next season and was wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction for a ski that is primarily for the park.

Heres a little about my skiing ability and what im looking for

-Im 5'11 and 170 lbs and am 15 years old

-I would consider my self an expert when it comes to downhill skiing but Im looking to get more into the park

-Im not a great park skier but can land 3's consistently and jib fairly decent

-I would prefer a ski with a flex of around 5 in the tips and tail

-I would also like the ski to be half-decent in hardpack and glades

-I would like a pretty forgiving, lightweight ski

-And I would prefer price point to be $600(w/o bindings) and below

Ask any additional questions below

Thanks in advance

Try gear talk

Do you have a preference on width? And do you want rocker, camber, or both?

Width Id say around 80-90. Yes id like a fairly small rock and camber

I expect some hate for this one, but seriously, my first year of park I used a pair of demo'd Fischer Gurus. They are literally everything proof, super flexy, and forgiving. I would REALLY consider buying some gurus.

J skis whippet, although the allplay is a bit wider, it still is good in the park.

I own 2 soon to be 3 pairs of whipits. Broke 1 pair and he's sending me a new one. As long as you arent doing urban on them he's pretty reasonable about repair and warranty. 11/10 customer service 9/10 product.
 
I just got the Line Chronics. A great ski all around. Camber underfoot and rocker on the ends so it offers control with the ability to butter n shit. Tom rides them so you know they are the skis to get if you want to get into park!
 
I was personally gonna go with the surface park blanks for next season. Theyre cheaper and seem like a pretty solid ski
 
Your gonna have to decide if you want a symmetrical sidecut or direction sidecut, basically symmetrical is a little better for park and directional is a little better for all-mountain but the difference isn't huge, either way all of the below would work:

directional:

line Chronic/future spin

Dynastar distorter

Jskis Whip-it

K2 shreditor 92's

Rossi storm

symmetrical:

Volkl step/ledge

line afterbang

K2 domain

and yah fischer gurus are actually pretty good
