Skis, so many to chose from

I don't know what would be a good ski for mostly rails. I'm looking for something with a small amount of rocker in the tips/tails and softer flex. It also needs to be light but still solid for landings
 
When you say solid for landings, I assume you are talking about jumps, so what size jumps are you hitting and how often? If you do almost exclusively hit rails and only hit small/medium jumps occasionally, there are definitely lots of skis to choose from that will be rockered, soft and relatively light, but if you hit larger jumps somewhat often it might be harder to find a ski with those three things, that will also perform well on large jumps

I mostly medium and large jumls
 
I see that you ski at spirit, and I know the place pretty well so I don't think they have big enough jumps that a softer ski wouldn't be able to handle. Also, what's your price range? If you don't have one or have a fairly high one, the moment frankenskis have all three things you wanted and I'd think the triple camber would help keep it stable even with it being a softer ski, but fairly pricey. I haven't ridden them myself but I've only heard good things about Moment

I saved up a lot of money working this summer just for skis so I could buy anything up too 1000. I'll check out the frankenskis
