Park Ski Help

[chaz732]

I'm a good skier outside the park, but my experience inside it is limited and I'm trying to step up my game. Basically looking for a ski that's gonna make me more confident throwing 3's, grabs, and jibbing around on rails. Don't need super stability for really large jumps, but want a ski that is light, has pop, and can carve a turn while still being playful enough for some butters. I'm not a big dude, at 5'9 145.

Am thinking about the Liberty LTE or Antigen, Armada Thall, ON3p FR's, and maybe the 4frnt switchblade, and line afterbang. I've seen a lot of hate on the afterbangs, especially regarding weight, but freeskier gave it a perfect score in the swingweight category, and it got some love from powdermag too.

Guidance much appreciated.

I'm in a similar situation to you, similar height too. I went out yesterday to test a few - Atomic Punx, Armada AR7s and Scott Jib TWs were the ones I tested. Of the three, the punx definitely felt the lightest, poppiest and most playful.

I came away after ordering a pair in 173. Definitely the best ski I've ridden.

yea I've heard a lot of good things about the punx, that and the da'nollie were two that I'd also consider. Wish I had the chance to demo some of these.
