Ski advice

So I have been looking for new skis and I am really lost. I have a pretty tight budget so preferably anything on sale and under 300 dollars is what I am going to get, maybe 350 dollars maximum. I am 5'10" and 140 pounds, and I want a ski that is fairly light, or good for progression in the park, as I plan on advancing quite a bit. I would call myself an intermediate skier, intending to get better next year. I would like a ski that performs well on rails that is light enough to make rail tricks easy, but also holds up when hitting kickers. I also want a ski that is more durable, will survive the occasional backcountry skiing well. I live in michigan as well. If you can point me in the right direction, and find me a sick pair of planks to ski on next winter, I would appreciate it very much. +k for good advice, -k for hate. If there is anything else you want to know about me just ask.
 
I have also been looking at the Atomic Infamous skis. Would those be any good or should I look elsewhere?
 
Nordica soul riders bro, super dope ski. Just a bit over your price range, if you can find a deal on a pair jump at it.
 
12/13 armada ARV would be a great choice also, a bit more in your price range but idk if you want a stiff or soft ski because the ARV is an insanely buttery ski
 
I would not mind a playful and buttery ski, as long as they can hold up on the more hard landings I may have and hold an edge.
 
Both of those skis are playful and jibby skis, they both can hold up on jumps any pretty much anything you throw at it.
 
this or the k2 domains, both are symmetrical and really fun on rails but can still hold there own on landings. Evo has some tc's for the 2012-2013 season on sale for 300 buck in a 178 which would be perfect for you. Im almost the same height(5'9) and the 178 is perfect!!
