I like a stable ski that won't chatter going fast on big jumps and i want it to be buttery for presses but at the same time have good pop on jumps. I was looking at Atomic Punx, would these be a good choice and what would others be?

JO pros are the best ski on the market for jumping, little on the stiff side, biut i had a pair last year i could butter.

Maybe look at pipecleaners if your not gonna hit a lot of rails, I don't know how they would butter though.

*READ THIS*

I am not sure which ski to buy.  I am 5' 4" and 122 pounds.  I ski in Pennsylvania and mostly park, but I have gone on trips out west to ski.  I can't spend too much money.  I have rossignol scratch pro 158s that are three years old.  I was also wondering if i could go one more year on these or if they are too small.

JO pros are very light so are great for spinning. Maybe line chronics they seem to be very good for jumps.

Line Anthems or Invaders good for jumps and great for butters

Depends how big the jumps are. Those skis are too soft for big jumps and when he says he wants a ski that doesn't chatter I take that as wanting some stiffness. I would suggest looking at:

Line Chronic
Moment Reno Jib
Head JO Pro
Volkl Wall
Armada AR6

why does everyone say you can't hit rails on pipecleaners.. i don't fucking understand.. they are the best park ski i have been on, and my pair hasn't fallen apart yet after a year and a half of jibbing. plus they're fucking awesome to butter, soft tips, stiff underfoot. and if you wax and take care of your skis like you're supposed to, the bases and edges are just fine.. it's basically a better version of the ar6. i'm buying another pair once i break the ones i have.
