Im getting off snowboarding and moving to skis in the fall. Im good at skiing outside of the park even though I dont ride skis often. But now I'm switching to park skiing, because that's all there is to do here at Granite in Wisconsin. I've borrowed my brothers skis before and picked it up fast. I can ride switch very well and can slide ride on boxes and spin 180's. And that was all in the first nite. Basically I would like to know what setup to get next fall that would suit a fast progressing park skier. Next year I'll be living 5 minutes from my hill and ill be up there 5 days a week. I have no idea what brands and what models are going to be good like I do for snowboarding so I need some help. I want something super playful and buttery. Most likely wont being doing jumps over 40 feet and lots of jibbing.

What skis, bindings and boots?

Im totally lost and confused with all the gear out there.
 
Try halos, they are really solid skis, as for bindings I would look at Sth 14s they are mostly metal ( plastic bindings will break if you go to hard on them) and for boots i would say find a reputable boot fitter near you and do whatever they say (even if the boot isnt meant for park skiing) if its a good boot fitter they are just finding the boot that fits you best which is really important ecpesially if you are skiing a lot, If you. Don't have a boot fitter ne'er you that you can't acseess find out how wide you're foot is, if you have a wideish foot I would say full tilt boots which have a 102mm last (last is the with of the sole of the boot) if you have a skinnier foot I would recommend a full tilt hot dogger or drop kick, they have a 99mm last, if you are willing to spend a little more you can look into dual bello boots. I hope this was helpfully a worded in a way that you could understand. If I made any mistakes I apologize. Message me if you have any questions
 
I think if we knew your budget it would be a lot easier to help you. I would recommend icelantic danollie in a 180 size though. (veryu playful/light)
