I’m a park skier and usually ride 90-95 underfoot and I’m down to ride whatever just having a hard time finding a brand to fuck with
 
Can’t go wrong with armada for both ride and durability. Also a lot of shops carry them so you can find last years ski for 350. Line and faction are nice but the durability is not there from my experiences. If you want a popper ski the k2 poachers (spelled something like that) are Very playful.

poachers are far from playful, stiff ass skis with no pop. id go with blends, tw pros, edollo/bdog or chronics
 
Sounds like you want Line TW Pros, Line Chronics, Armada ARV96, Völkl Revolt 95s. Plenty of other good suggestions will come behind me but those are some solid starters that are easy to find with good markdowns. The problem though is that crazy pop doesn’t usually correlate with playful. So you may need to figure out exactly what you’re looking for in a flex profile.

I like a playful ski. But it has crazy pop and still is somewhat stable. I also like it not getting too wide in the tips

I have heard good thing about how lines ski, but I have just had to many of my friends have there too sheet separate way sooner than they should.
 
Then do Armada. Even Völkl has decent durability.

Ik a guy who skis poachers and he says they are on the stiffer side but a little bit of speed they’ll be butterable and have nice pop. Plus they’ll keep you standing if you land backseat or nose heavy on bigger jumps

No they have pop, you need to have good form in order to get the best out of them. It takes more effort to bend them than your typical park ski, but if you can flex them they have a lot of energy
