so today after about 2 years of hittin park on my Ar5's they broke they were 170's and a lil small for me. so now im on the hunt for good end of the season sales for a straight park ski.
im 6' 3"
and i weigh around 165-170
this ski would be for strictly park and an occasional few runs out of it

ive got a couple ideas. ive been lookin at the trouble makers, the scott p3's, dumonts, moment reno jibs and SPK's.
 
so if you guys could help me find the right ski for a resonable price that would be awesome. seeing as im a lil tight on money

I have last years trouble makers and they're a solid ski, they're really stiff, but they have sick pop, and so far my edges are been fine and topsheet is in great condition

stick with armada and go for the pipe cleaners. Probably the best ski if you want a lot of pop

Anthems are a decent park ski for someone of your size(I'm 6'2", 175 and that my everyday park ski) I would say just go for the best price, all the skis above will do the job. I might stay away from dynastar edges if you do a lot of rails though.

great choice. I have invader mini (from line skis). they are such a good ski so I am sure the big ones for kids like 6 feet tall and stuff will be good too

i ski on the east coast for the most part so i'm not the best source, but i took mine out to utah this year and had no complaints.  because they're true center mounts i felt like i was going to go over the front a couple times on real steep stuff, but for the most part they were awesome.  especially making switch turns in powder.  super fun.
