Ok so i'm new to park skiing but advanced outside of the park. I'm 5'4 and 120lbs so a lighter ski would be nice. I'll be doing 85% park and 15% groomers and what not. In the park i'll be doing 50/50 jumps and rails. I'll be mounting salomon sth 14 2011's on them. Something cheaper would also be. They do not have to be this years model. I will buy older models.
 
if you're new to park then don't worry about what you buy. don't buy something new, you're not good enough yet to justify it and you don't know exactly what you want out of a park ski. find something cheap, beat the shit out of them learning, and then when you know what you want go buy it.
 
well when i say new i mean i can do almsot any jump in the ski hills i go too. do some rails. I can also do 360's and 180's. I also like a stiffer ski.
 
Personally i would suggest a K2 Recoil, its a all mountain/park ski but is more geared towards the park, next years are super super light, and have are fairly flexy, so they butter really nice, they are light so they spin well. They are also solid on the jumps, and have k2's all mountain rocker. If you like a little stiffer ski then i would try and get a pair of the Iron Maiden revivals. They can be found pretty cheap right now. They are stiffer then the recoils and unlike the recoils they have a k2's jib rocker vs k2 all mountain rocker, they are really really solid on the booters, and are actually really fun to shred all mountain with. You can get both of these skis in package deals for fairly cheap, ussually they will come with Marker griffions in the packages. but if they are offered with the squires just get them flat.. Hope this helped.
 
would either the armada ar7's or the armada halos work right now. I know they have the ar50 sidewall for reduced swingweight.
 
I know the AR7's area good park ski, a lot of people out there with them, they are good ski for da kikers from what i know. but that is about it on my knowledge about Armada, if you have questions about K2, Line, or volkl i can help you no prb.
