Ski suggestions

[skittiti]

Alright, i'll try to keep this short. i've been a skier/snowboarder my whole life, but as of the last ~7 years i've focused on snowboarding. I went skiing again a few weeks back and want to pick it back up again, as i'm going out to park city in march for spring break. i've been doing a bit of research and decided that i wanted to try and pick up a moderately priced pair of park skis that can also rip groomers no problem. i can handle my own on groomers and in the park i have pretty basic skills, but i was planning on working on this area of my skillset between now and when i go out to utah.

As far as boots and bindings go, i'm planning on going to a boot fitter and for bindings i'm thinking either griffons or FKS 120's.

Now as far as skis go, i've been researching but have been kinda struggling to find a solid pair of skis for under ~400, which is the targeted budget. I'm pretty indifferent to brands so any suggestions would be much appreciated.

i'm 5'11 and weigh 170 as well. any help would be awesome, and thanks for the responses in advance.

I've never personally ridden a pair of Line skis but I have heard that they are very buttery and the top sheet chips easily. 15' Line afterbangs are pretty sick. I really don't like K2. Atomic Punx hold up pretty good, I've had mine for 2 years and they're fine. Even tho they might be a bit costy, Armada Al Dente's are soooooo flexy. My friend has a pair and he butters the shit out of them. I highly recommend them, they are wide enough for some pow but are also and amazing, durable park ski. If you go into the deep web you can find this years pair for $300. Let me know what you think!!!

Yea i've heard questionable things about Line, but my friend loves his afterbangs, only thing is they're so heavy. I looked into the Al Dente's and managed to find a few pretty solid deals actually on them, so that may be the route i take. Really appreciate the advice though man.

still open to any advice anyone else might have
