I know this is broad but i like to hear peoples opinions.

i have been skiing for 5 years and i found out i mostly like the park

i have rocked a pair of atomic punx i think idk they were my first real ski

then i converted to the line afterbangs and have been riding those for the past two years. i have liked those for the most part been quite playful and helped hone my skills in the park. but im ready for something new.

I know i like buttery skis that are overall fun i dont really think i need anything crazy sturdy as i have only really ever thrown a 5.

any help gets some +k
 
If you like rails more than jumps, which I'm assuming you do, look for a buttery ski that's playful but is hard enough to stick some harder landings. K2 Domains or Recoils are excellent skis, all of my friends that have them love them. Armada is always a good option to go with, just because they're sick, durable, and have a good warranty with them. The AR7s, THalls, Al Dentes and even the Alpha X's are all good park skis. Nordica One Man Wolf Packs are also excellent park skis. Hope this helps.
 
If you're gonna go with Line, go with either the Future Spins or Masterminds, the TC's fell apart on me after 20 trips.
 
Don't go with Line, especially not the Masterminds. It seems like you are used to fully symmetrical skis. The best value park ski right now is easily the Atomic Infamous. Mid-soft flex, symmetrical, little bit of tip and tail rocker, these things are really fun and seem perfect for your style of skiing. Plus on eve, they are like $350 brand new, so that doesn't hurt either.
 
I would buy full tilts or SPKs (make sure pro model) and then whatever top sheet looks the coolest. Next feel the bases and whatever one has the smoothest feel to it is the one you want (grinds rails smoother). Good luck, if you have questions on bindings let me know (make sure they say "JIB" on the model name).
 
K2 Domain has been an awesome ski for me. Super playful but it'll still throw down on medium size jumps. I would definitely recommend it! Not the best if you want to be hitting really big jumps though.
 
In all seriousness, you cant go wrong with an Armada or Line park oriented ski. They are built to last for the most part. You can get a few year old ski saving hundreds and have a sick set-up. Lots of people rock the chronic/afterbang. Plus the orang ones are straight pimp. 4frnt are also another great set-up made by US freestyle skiiers.
