Up for all answers, put some reasonable info down about how they ride, flex, performance, and perferably price.

for me?
AR7 !!With a wider profile and lightweight AR50 sidewall construction, the AR7 improves on the Armada’s legendary all-mountain park crusher. The newer, wider version of your old favorite brings even more confidence to chopped up transitions and variable snow without sacrificing its jib-friendly swing weight. These skis are 500$ and are great for any terrain with hella sick graphics on top and base!!

Oh hello Mr. Armada advertisement! :D But really, the best park ski is the one you enjoy skiing with the most.
 
I was gunna say my Armada T-Halls but actually I had fun on my Chronics and Moments. My Chronics survived through a lot of things and finally my tips are delaming after so long.
 
There is none. I've had multiple park ski's, and none of them have been the "best"

Some are obviously better than others for my skiing style but there will never be a best ski, its just preference. Right now I have a pair of moment jibs, which are great for park and hitting bigger jumps and such because of their stiffer flex and traditional camber (and skinny waist, and I also have Hellbents which, are obviously better for deeper snow and crud witht heir wide footprint and rocker, but I will sstill use them in the park for sure just for a different feel, and they wont be "worse" than my park skis.

Like someone said before, this question is far too broad, its like saying which car is the best, its totally opinion. Charmander will tell you to get a diesel truck, and then the rest of NS will say get a subie, same thing.... its all opinion.

Based on the little knowledge I have of you, if you are looking for a new park ski I would probably suggest the bluehouse antics, they are a ridic good deal online right now and seem like they are very well constructed (I have not skied these, but I bet they are dope, BH makes good stuff) If you want something more all mountain but still want park ability without losing edge to edge performance look at something 90-100 underfoot, such as the Mr or chronic cryptonite, or any other ski in that category, there are a plethora. This is before we get into rocker/early rise and tip taper and all that jazz.

My suggestion to you, asses your skiing style (mostly rails and small jumps? Big jumps? Lots of glades? Pow?) and sound off in this thread, with that and your age, height, skiing ability, weight, and past skis that yo have ridden and liked, and people can make suggestions, none of which will be the best, but all of them will work great most likely.
 
I've owned quite a few pairs, and like Walls the best, but at the same time I know people who love Abangs, so who is to say?
 
It differs between persons. Some like a stiff park ski while others like a soft flex one. Some like a wide underfoot and others like it narrow. Everybodys different.
 
All i wanted when i said the best park ski was a ski that outperforms all the rest. I wan a ski that will shred rails, small jumps to huge jumps, looks good, handles amazing, one that is easy to control but has some play and give.

I know the question is broad but i just wanted to hear a few different points of view on a few great park skis.

 
Seriously, nobody can really answer. I'm guessing close to nobody has skied every single park ski, so most likely, nobody here will know. It's a very opinionated question. Fill this out, then maybe some people can help you.

Weight:

Most importantly desired use.
 
Uh just look around for some more well known comapnies such as Line Armada Ninthqard and Liberty.
 
that's a really good question. but if you follow these forms for a week or so and somebody asks what's the best boot or what's the best ski....you are only ever going to hear the same thing - Armada and K2....oh an we can't forget full tilt. raichle was badass in the 80's and now they are called ft's...go figure. it's almost like those companies own newschoolers.com. you are never going to hear anything else besides a mention of maybe an S3 occasionally. here's the deal - all these companies make good skis. go ride the jo pro, s3, ace of spades. i would test whatever i could get my hands on
 
This is not true. You'll hear about Line, Salomon, Atomic, Surface, Moment, ON3P, and many others. You really haven't been here all that long...
 
Really? I remember an old thread about how everyone who buys a pair gets to ski with an olympic aerialist or something for a day. But if they really don't exist then that's crazy
 
icelantic da nollie. so nice, great width great look great literally everything. i just got the 2011 ones yesterday. cant stop looking at them
 
my favorite park skis were the original kung fujas. those skis just had the most perfect flex ever, amazing for big ass jumps, very poppy in just the right way, and they were still amazing for butters and stuff. and the weight was perfect. light but just heavy enough to give you some stability in the air and let you know they are there. im picking up a pair of the new kung fujas and i hope they are as good.
