There's no such thing as a perfect park ski. It depends - some like it stiff (skis, that is...), other's prefer noodly skis.
Having said that, may I recommend some Moment Reno Jibs (re-named Reno for next year)... very light, poppy, moderate stiffness. Next year's 4Frnt STL's look pretty good too.

T-halls. I would say invaders but they are a CAP pricepoint ski, and that doesn't sound like what you want. Armada makes solid skis that will last you a while

Hey i'm just learning how to ski park. I just got my 3's down and i'm learning rails now. i have scratches size 148 and they are way to small for me. i am going to get new skis for next season but i don't know what ski to get. i was thinking about the solomon 1080's but my friends have told me not to get them. so i don't know what to get and i want to get a pair for a reasonable amount of money.

Dimensions - height, weight, etc. How much park/groomers/pow etc.
Most Salomon's (cheaper ones) are foam core, which are less durable and will lose camber quicker than wood core... but it's less prone to chipping

i was looking at the Armada AR6's and i was thinking either the 171's or 178's. plus is it true that u can customize your own topsheet on them? if so how much extra is it?

the fujative is a pretty poppy ski, but i would suggest a symetrical ski for you if you do mostly park, and if you ski switch a lot....i think the invader wouldnt be bad choice either..

yo if anyone can help me that would be great. im an expert skier who learned on moguls and gets limited time to ski pow and cliffs. i live in a place where park rules, and so i have started with that. i am solid on rails and in the air and am now moving on to more advanced tricks. im riding salomon 720s right now size 151. i need some new skis. what are the perfect park/pow/a little groomer skis and bindings for a 5'7 130 lb guy like me???

I love my chronics because i can hit anything and they are super poppy. wicked stiff too.
The new scratch FS are pretty legit ithink too, i liked the old ones for jumps because they had smooth soft landings too.

well it depends on what type of park riding you like do you like the pipe and jumps or more of rails and jjibs or both
