I am all in a wreck about what skis I should get next year. I am 16 next year, 5'9", 140ish lbs and I ride about 80% park and 20% elsewhere. Please help me!

^^ why? he rode them for 2 years and im pretty sure he thinks they're fine. just because you dont like them doesnt mean other people dont. and if you're going to go on about the foam core thing, salomon is putting wood cores into both the dumont and SPK and re=enforcing the camber in there foam.

any park ski is gonna be fine, it's just personal preference with how much flex you want, graffics you like and company reputations really.

i'll throw the fuji in the mix.

next years triplets would be a good choice. Also next years invaders or the anthems if you like a wide park ski like moi. thats what Im getting depending on if they have a small size like 151 like the invaders.
